What is important is that we maintain our integrity as Coast Salish people. It is our culture and identity; it is who we are. It is also important that our community be recognized by the Crown so that we can have a voice in the important “rights” issues of our people, from the specific to the generic. We can then consider ourselves made “whole” again. By achieving this end, we will honour our ancestors, knowing that they lived and died for their beliefs. I wound up living right across the street from the hospital where I was born,” he said, remembering a time when it was “all wild.” At that point there were approximately 225 “status” Lamalchi/Hwlitsum members who were eligible to rejoin the Coast Salish network of communities. Some of the children were not eligible under the provisions of section 6 of the Indian Act, so, counting spouses and children, our membership was in the vicinity of four hundred people. We were still invisible, in a sense, because we didn’t have band status or a reserve base. We continued with our mission to honour our ancestors, who, as my father said, were very visible at one – time a large, powerful tribe in the Coast Salish world. Through the disruption of our way of life, the impact of the white man, and early government malfeasance (in the form of failed systems and policies), we were rendered invisible. Our quest now is to become visible again. Wener, Ben (August 11, 1998). "The B-52s party on!: Nearly 20 years after turning the pop world on its ear, the group is gaining in popularity".

Sure. “Nowadays,” sighed Schneider, “if you put humor in your music, I guess you’re considered camp, and our style isn’t too subtle. I don’t see us as being camp, although I guess on stage, we want to entertain people and make ’em laugh and we will make fools of ourselves.”He’s a fixture in a city full of characters. He teaches.

One of my favorite moments in the book comes with “Dear Mr. Cohen.” Here we find Wilson crafting the poem as if it were a letter to his late idol, Leonard Cohen. In the poem, he asks Cohen to sing his famous song “So long, Marianne…” to his recently deceased friend Marianne: “You can sing that song to her yourself now, Leonard, or better yet, “Hello Marianne…”. Dance with Me is filled with so many beautiful and unique odes like this. It is quite obvious that Wilson’s words show a true appreciation for life, even in death. a b " Rolling Stone Biography for The B-52s". Rolling Stone. Archived from the original on July 16, 2007.
