My name is Sim’oogit Wii Hamootkw (Spiritual being/person)

I am of the Nisga’a people from the Wilp (house) of Nii’is’lis’eyan (our chief), Laxgiibuu (wolf) tribe, from the village of Gingolx (Kincolith) on the Nass River, raised in a traditional home. 

I have been in the lower mainland since 1970 to attend school and remained here to live and work, graduated high school in 1975/76. I worked in the fishing Industry for over 32 yrs.

The work I do for all our loved ones is spiritual that’s why it helps everyone who comes to see me. Even though I say I, I know it’s creator, ancestors working through me. I am the channel for the love to come through to the person asking for help. I am a helper, I do not turn anyone away no matter who they are or where they come from, it's empowering them to heal themselves. As I do the brushings songs will come through in which the songs help move the spiritual blockages and uplift the person I’m helping. 

I am currently a Elder/Cultural Advisor for Kilala Lelum in the DTES, UNYA (Urban Native Youth Association), BYRC (Broadway Youth Resource Center), and the UBC Youth Overdose Prevention Research Cluster. When invited I attend community events to do brushings, opening songs, prayers, and teachings. 

I am also known as Bruce Robinson.
