“Flying off into the night”
a Matriarch (among us). Two-term Kitselas Councillor. Founder of ‘Hanak Consulting Solutions. Candidate for Terrace City Council. A lifetime rooted in this land — and more than twenty years of work in governance, family support, recovery, and cultural safety across northwest British Columbia.
Terrace, BC On Kitselas and Kitsumkalum territory
Neas-D-Hok is my name, and I am the Chief of the Grizzly Bear People of Kitselas. So, lest the record be lost, I tell it that it may be written down and preserved.
— Simoogit Neas-D-Hok, Chief Walter Wright, Lynn’s great-grandfather, in Men of M’deek and Wars of M’deek, as told to Will Robinson.
Lineage, service, practice.
These are not separate lanes. They are the same responsibility, expressed in family, public service, and the institutions that shape people’s lives.
01
Lineage
The Wright family’s story is the story of this land, long before it was called Terrace — from Simoogit Neas-D-Hok, Chief Walter Wright, through the Seven Sisters story and the branch that gave Thornhill its name.
02
Service
Two elected terms on Kitselas Council, including Chair of Finance & Audit. Front-line housing, family, and recovery work. Regional liaison with the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine.
03
Practice
‘Hanak Consulting Solutions builds genuine cultural safety inside health, education, government, and industry — protocol-grounded, Indigenous-led, and built for the northwest.
Terrace sits on the shared territory of the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum First Nations.
That history belongs to all of us. Understanding it is part of building the Terrace we want for the future.
