Chief Larrabee speaks at College

New Westminster Band Chief Rhonda
Larrabee, pictured here with her
daughter Sheril Ferguson and First
Nations Services Coordinator Betsy
Bruyere, made a historic visit to the
College on October 23. The local band,
scattered after the Federal Government
sold Poplar Island in 1945, is now
experiencing a reincarnation thanks to
Chief Rhonda’s efforts. She shared the
story of her people’s buried history, her
concern for the well-being of the entire
community and the environment, and
her ultimate plans for the the band’s
heritage and future: “I envision a
reserve that emphasizes education—

land with a learning centre and pre- 9

school.”
