Khot-La-Cha Gift Shop is on the Squamish Nation’s Capilano Reserve, a quarter- mile from Lions Gate Bridge. The store’s view of the North Shore Mountains is photo worthy! This time, I was joyously welcomed by Tippy, a two- year-old rescue saved from a Los Angeles kill-shelter, by a Canadian rescue organization, (Thank Dog I am Out) for a second chance at life. http://ThankDogIa- mOut.com/ How could I refuse doing an article on a dog named Tippy? He is the fi rst Tippy that I have met in nine years of writing this column. This column is about pet tips and tales, and Tippy has both! Plus! She at the end of her black tail she has a pretty white TIP — the sig- nature of her name! Khot-La-Cha sells traditional, hand crafted Aborigi- nal/Native American wood carvings, moccasins, art- work, jewelry, baskets and beadwork designed by band members. This visit, it was hard to focus on the store’s wares as their friendly mascot, Tippy, demanded atten- tion. That is until she felt her duty was over and she returned to rest on a stool for a better view of custom- ers. “Tippy is my grandmother’s Nancy Nightingale dog,” said Tippy’s auntie, Lynnea. “She was painfully timid when Grandma adopted her, but she immedi- ately attached herself to Grandma, and her devotion is heartwarming. It is amazing to see how shy Tippy has blossomed. We don’t know the dog’s previous tale of hardship, but it was like watching a miracle unfold as she opened her heart and became the most loving dog I have known. Our store was named after my great-grandfather Chief Khot La Cha and it has been in the family for gen- erations. His name means man with a “Kind Heart” in our Squamish language. As a youth, he survived a cruel residential school. Despite this he grew into a loving and great man and teacher. He became an Ambassa- dor of Canada traveling the world enlightening others about Aboriginal life. We have historical photos of him on his journeys wearing a traditional eagle feather regalia headdress, while drumming and dancing. He was a man of two hats! Because tourists think that all Natives wear the eagle feather headdress, he compro- mised and wore one. But with our West Coast rainy conditions, our tribal chiefs historically wear conical shaped, woven, red cedar hats. Grandmother’s grandmother, Mary Capilano, was known as the “Indian Princess of Peace”. Her intricate Photo by Mary Ellen “Angel Scribe” Lynnea and her Grandmother Nancy proudly show off their shop’s mascot, Tippy. Tippy has the rare International heritage of German, Mexican and African — he is a Dachshund/ Chihuahua/Basenji mix born in Los Ange- les, USA, living with Nancy on the Capilano Indian Reservation in Canada. basket art is famous. Great Grandma Mary traveled by canoe, up and down British Columbia, to trade in the late 19th century. Her name ‘Capilano’ is familiar to tourists visiting North Vancouver and its world famous swinging Capilano River Bridge. Our store, two miles south of the swinging bridge, is an avenue for aborigi- nal members to express and keep the First Nation’s culture alive through crafts. The store’s beginning was spontaneously. When my great grandfather was Ambassador his many visitors wanted Native art work. So his wife bought and sold carvings etc. from tribal members and as they say the rest is history! Today, we export many items to the United States, Asia and European countries. Tippy’s name suits her because she is incredibly clumsy! Anyone can fall downstairs. But, have you ever heard of falling UP stairs? The crazy thing is that Tippy’s tumbles don’t seem to bother her, but I see a chiropractor in her future! Grandma also has a rescue cat, Tippy’s BIG brother, Madison. You would think Madison is a female, but he is male — and he is not only bigger than Tippy, he far outweighs her. The two animals have to share grandma’s attention. You will fi nd Grandma sitting on her couch with a dog on one side and the cat vying for Please see T&T, Page 11A Art at the Museum Through the last weekend of June, the Cottage Grove Historical Museum, located on the corner of H and Birch Streets, will be featuring paintings, folk art woodcarvings, and doll-making by local artists that include Catharine Filmer, Sujo, Roger Lovelace, Evelynne Plueard, Carl Small, Colleen Patterson and Susan Dunham.
