Dr. Frank Calder

Frank Calder was, is, and always will be the Senior Icon of the Indian movement in the province of British Columbia which, of course, means he is the Icon for all the Indians in Canada.

Leaders my age, dead or alive, owe everything to the Little Chief. He was the best of the best.

As a young girl I met Dr. Calder at the opening of the Nass River Bridge. Little did I know of who he was until later on in my life I
would hear his name, and learn of the great accomplishments he had
achieved for his people. It truly was an honour to have known him.
We as Nisga'a people will be forever greatful for his accomplishments, and he will be forever in our hearts.
Rest in Peace Sim'oogit, Rest in Peace

It is truly an honour and privilege to be a beneficiary of this great man's life's work.
Thank you Ye'e, for moving that mountain!
Eternal gratitude...

Uncle Frank, you will always be in the hearts of the people of the Nisgaa for all the wonderful things that you have done for us. Rest in Peace.

A true legend in our time, Dr Calder has quite literally taught leadership and compassion to his people and as a Nisga'a person, am glad to have known and spoken to such a great man.

I will always remember the kindness and respect that Dr. Frank Calder displayed to all people. Dr. Calder was truly a great leader for our people.

With Deepest Sympathy to the family of our dear late uncle Frank.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of our uncle who was the pillar of strength of our Nisga'a Nation. His humility was evident in how he associated with people no matter how they stood in life. He gave each and everyone he met his time because he considered everyone valuable and important. We will greatly miss you uncle. May you rest peacefully in God's presence. Our greatest Nisga'a Warrior.
love and prayers....
