This Trackable was first issued and place by the Girl Guides of Newfoundland during their 2017 Provincial Camp. The girls created a travel bug hotel and issued several travel bugs named for Influential Canadian Women throughout history. Its Mission is to travel Canada so that young girls everyone can learn more about these amazing women and what they have accomplished. They have helped create the Canada of today!
Ga’axstal’as, Jane Constance Cook (1870–1951)
Kwakwaka’wakw leader, cultural mediator, and activist. Born on Vancouver Island, Ga’axstal’as, Jane Constance Cook was the daughter of a Kwakwaka'wakw noblewoman and a white fur trader. Raised by a missionary couple, she had strong literacy skills and developed a good understanding of both cultures and legal systems. As the grip of colonialism tightened around West Coast nations, Cook lobbied for First Nations to retain rights of access to land and resources. She testified at the McKenna-McBride Royal Commission of 1914 and was the only woman on the executive of the Allied Indian Tribes of British Columbia in 1922. A fierce advocate for women and children, she was also a midwife and healer and raised sixteen children.
