The Kwina's Family Surname holds our Beloved Father's Full Name Sacred:    "Henry Kwina."

Surname "Henry" & "Kwina."

The Kwina Family Full Surname is "Henry" and "Kwina" by historic and legal account.

Historically, The Kwina Family has endured great traumatic effect from famine, migration, religion, war, colonization, and political raging from school and military outlet, ripping roots of Lummi Chieftain Sche'lang'en right out from the past. And to add for the increase in traumatic effect, the family that has forgotten our ancient past and genuine Kwina Chieftain Sche'lang'en that took a great toll on the Kwina bloodline. And no one can speak for direct Chieftain Sche'lang'en but Chief Henry Kwina himself. Equating the Kwina timeline for Chieftain illegally ends (1913) before Helen Marion Kwina was 7 years old. And by the time Helen Marion Kwina was seven years old, Qui-ench Chief Henry Kwina was ousted and the "Era of August Martin" began who by was illegally installed by the Church. Adding Logically, by perfect historic analogy we now understand at Lummi Nation, All Elders currently alive today are the product of memories held at Lummi Nation who stands as the generation influenced by August Martin, your history starts here. But not for Kwina! Kwina Sche'lang'en is from ancient past and is today! Kwina Sche'lang'en is Law  and has been before for over a thousand years from ancient times! The Age of Kwina is Kwina, and is not coupled with Church-Installed-August-Martin Era memories, clearly. The Hereditary Chief Henry Kwina's Sche'lang'en is birthed from Direct Lineal Family Kwina bloodline and likewise in Chieftain Qui-ench protocol, Tradition, Custom, and Cultural in reality endowed in a Divine Spiritual Nature wrapped in Authentic Black Letter Law.

Great trauma was endured by the "Nuh Lummi" and Lummi Nation Chieftain Kwina bloodline had to adapt much to devastating change with endured historic trauma. Waking from history! This call arises! We must never forget this call to reverse change in devastating traumatic effect, rather, the development is in healing, and look, this has come in discipline through love-- strength in light for correction stands bold as a Mountain Lion! this call has been made through the work of love in answer by Truth. Healing has arisen for Lummi Nation!

Kwina is Qui-ench of Lummi Nation and to face historic devolution in Tradition, Custom, Culture and Spiritual Beliefs through political haste and the demolishing of our ways, understanding this left Kwina bloodline at the mercy of history with near and total destruction; Kwina has always been committed to our People, saving the lives of our families. Likewise, Lummi Nation had only pure 5 Lummi families left after wars and total destruction, adding, this after total destruction historically as Lummi Nation's Founding Father's Hereditary Kwina Bloodline was leading less than 400 assimilated Salish Amerigenious from the surrounding Salish region who enjoined with Lummi to survive as a People in the 1894 around this time.

This necessity with responsibility in changing times as Chieftain to adapt into a new role as Sheriff for Lummi as Chief Henry Kwina was a big adjustment from King to Sheriff (in a world that ignored our Kwina Sche'lang'en Tradition, but instead wrapped him in a box with U.S. Military ready to attack based on political issue over Native Children,) so also came the reality of the media and press facing in such opposition in position with political agenda pooling from encroaching powers of school, church and state in the late 1800's.

Chief Henry Kwina was known in the Salish Territory by Tradition as Chief Henry.

It is of the utmost to keep Hereditary Kwina Family and by Lummi Nation Tradition held Qui-ench by Direct Kwina through Direct Kwina Hereditary Chieftain bloodline.

Marion Kwina held family names as sacred, her family names  were by fond personal attachment, which kept Marion's memories closer this way. Likewise noting, Marion Kwina's sister's name is "Helen," and Helen is a sister that had passed away who Marion Kwina dearly loved, and Marion Kwina kept her memories close by correlating her pain in fond memories through holding names sacred; repeating with Marion Kwina's first born child Kirby Henry Kwina, Marion holds the same ceremony by sacred naming. Yes, with Kirby Henry Kwina, Marion Kwina shares lose for her son to political tension by way of the Church's ideologies, adding a mirror reflection of her sister's death Helen Kwina in sentiment and later with naming her last born son "Joseph," reflecting her personal story with her first born son after the Methodist deeming a mistreatment in wayward decision by conception.
