Marilyn's Story
Life
I was born in Greenville BC, in 1955. When I was 7; I was sent to the Alberni Indian Residential School, in Port Alberni and I stayed there until I was 14. After that I boarded out with a nice young couple for 4 years from grade 8-11, in 1974 I quit school to go back home to Prince Rupert, I graduated from Prince Rupert Secondary School in 1975.
Workplace
I worked at the cannery in Port Edward from 1969 to 1977, during spring break and during summer, in the evenings. I got my senority number down to 175, and all the older ladies complained so they s...Expand for more
tarted my time in June/75 after I graduated which put it up to 276.
I worked for my band, Ucluelet First Nations for 14 years as secretary/receptionist, each day was never the same, so my job didn't get boring. The only complaint I had was the pay, it was not enough.
I quit work to go back to school to do up-grading and get my BA. After my husband had his anerism, I had to quit and look for a job. The Tla-o-qui-aht First Nations hired me on as their Housing Coordinator, I have been working here for 4 years going on 5 in May/06, and loving every minute of it.
