Tom Mowatt comes from
Gitanmaax, British Columbia and is a proud
member of the Gitxsan nation. Knowledge
Hunter was a story written by Tom Mowatt
in 1995 while he was sentenced to Mountain
Institution, a penitentiary located in British
Columbia. While in prison, Tom attended a
creative writing group located within the pris-
on itself. “Knowledge Hunter” was a name
given to Tom from within the group, and he
ran with it. This was when he wrote the short
story present in this issue.

Tom is now attending classes at the
College of New Caledonia, and has been
enrolled in Academic Upgrading courses
since 2016. The environment and student base
here at the college has been beneficial to him
and his work. “.../t’s quite a journey to be
here and listen to the young people. They tell
you what we need to do as a people.” Tom
said.“Like, I’m 60 now, and it feels like my
ears have popped open and I can finally hear
people now.”

Tom is now looking towards the future,

and is looking to complete his book based on
his life story. He feels confident, and is happy
that he is working on his story here at CNC,
as: “...Jt’s just like doing a piece of artwork; If
you’re sitting in a studio with a bunch of other
artists, they will be there to help you.”

“It feels like my ears
have popped open and I
can finally hear people
now.”
