February 26, 1944 - March 27, 1997Another BC national treasure, Terry Glavin (my favorite leftie) suggests honoring Lillard with the words of an old Chinook song:
Elip naika nanitch
Sitka, maika illahie.
Cultus spose naika memaloost
yukwa elip.
I have seen
Sitka, your country.
Nevermind if I die
here now.
Sitka, maika illahie.
Cultus spose naika memaloost
yukwa elip.
I have seen
Sitka, your country.
Nevermind if I die
here now.
