  1. Happy TRC day in Canada!!! Please learn about an Indigenous culture near you and how you can help the reconciliation process today. Here is a great website about the Metis which has a great section on "Métis Scrip". Do you know what scrip was and who it was given to? Click the link below to begin your learning journey!

  3. The #CowichanRiver #estuary is one of the largest & most important in #BritishColumbia. The #watershed drains 90,000 hectares & provides #CriticalHabitat to dozens of #fish species, including #steelhead, #Chinook, #chum, #coho & #PinkSalmon, as well as brown, #cutthroat & #RainbowTrout. But the #Cowichan’s troubles are by no means unique; they are a #CaseStudy for a much larger problem.

    #TimberCompanies store #LogBooms all along the #BCcoast, says Jamieson Atkinson, a fish #biologist & program manager for the #Aquatic #Research & #Restoration Centre at #BritishColumbiaConservationFoundation. “It’s shocking.” While #estuaries make up less than 3% of British Columbia’s coast, they provide rich #habitat for 80% of the province’s coastal #wildlife. The #FraserRiver estuary, near #Vancouver on the mainland, supports more than 300 species of #birds & 80 species of fish & #shellfish for at least part of their life cycles.

  5. Check out this transcription effort! Audio taken from wax cylinders made in the 1940's to capture the language of old "Chinookan" but what he recorded was actually Chinook Jargon/Chinuk Wawa. Joe Peter is the Indigenous man that was providing the translation to Chinook/Chinuk.

  7. Anyone wanting to learn Chinook Wawa/Jargon or Chinook Pipa let me know we meet every Saturday morning and delve into letters written in Chinook Pipa by Indigenous people and we translate them and study how and what was written.
