Huu-ay-aht First Nations holds Flag-Raising Ceremony

Posted on by Huu-ay-aht Communications

On Thursday, March 21, Huu-ay-aht First Nations hosted a flag-raising ceremony followed by lunch in Anacla. Huu-ay-aht citizens, staff, and children gathered in front of the Anacla Government Office to see three flags raised: the survivors’ flag, the Huu-ay-aht flag, and the Maa-nulth flag.

The flags were selected to pay tribute to the Huu-ay-aht Citizens and their resilience. The survivor’s flag was raised to honour their strength, while the Huu-ay-aht First Nation and Maa-nulth flags were chosen to acknowledge our territory and our role in the Maa-nulth Treaty.

The event started with prayer; as the prayer ended, a few members of the Executive Council raised the flags, and Anacla residents and children from Spring Break Culture Camp began singing and dancing. Following this was lunch held at the House of Huu-ay-aht for everyone.
