David was lost at sea when I was a child. My parents were Elizabeth and Victor Thompson. I was raised traditionally on the land, taught to pick berries, go out, and get fish. We grew up going to the north island of Haida Gwaii for the whole summer to live off the land. We grew up canning fish, picking berries and living outside. We would go out to Yakoun River to catch sockeye and live up there with Emily Thompson, visit or live up there on the river. I have 5 children Terry, Irvin, Bonnie, Blossom and Oscar. I have 11 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. I am considered an elder in Gaw (Old Massett) and have sit on a number of health and land based committees for decades.
