Behind Every Good Man Are Strong Women Jacqueline Mathieu image Behind Every Good Man Are Strong Women by Jacqueline Mathieu, Deep Roots Island Waves “It about a 30 minute ride on the motorboat from Lund BC, at the tip of the Sunshine coast, to Squirrel Cove, on Cortes Island. As long as I can remember, we travelled that route to get back home. Home to my mom’s community of Klahoose. As children we would pile up in the little speedboat of my mom’s friend Andy, who would take us to Squirrel Cove for a fee of $25 and a six pack of pilsener. Andy would untie his boat at the dock and we would slowly pull out of Lund, passing the corner of Sevilla Island- we were off.” – Jacqueline Mathieu I would like to dedicate this story to my nephews Gary and Darrian Hachez who carried on the tradition of this beautiful ceremony when they became of age. Jacqueline Mathieu, of Klahoose First Nation. Her dedication to community, strength and calmness of communication is inspiring.

Jacqueline Mathieu’s journey to uncover her indigenous roots began in the most unexpected of places - an animated movie. Driven by an obsession with the main character, an interest in her own heritage blossomed over the course of her young life, as her journey to understand her culture began to stretch into the lives of her mother, her family, her community and beyond. In this episode of Deep Roots Island Waves, Jacqueline tells producer Morgan Rhys Tams the story of a young woman’s quest to uncover, reclaim and ultimately celebrate her indigenous heritage, reclaiming her identity from mass media, personal demons and Canada’s shameful past.

I really loved the love story; I loved how she was like communicating with animals. She is tall and slender. Her hair was long, past her butt and perfectly shaped at the end. And when the wind would blow, her hair would blow all the same direction. I just thought she was the epitome of perfection. Sometime in the movie I remember looking at my babysitter and I told her ‘I wish I was Pochahontas; I wish I was an Indian.’ And she looked at me and she said, ‘You are.an Indian.'” – Jacqueline Mathieu Morgan Rhys Tams is a multi-disciplinary artist and media educator who spends his time on an assortment of small islands on British Columbia’s West Coast.
