I met Harold Joe, a #Cowichan based #Indigenous knowledge keeper/teacher, actor & film producer, in 2015. He had come to Victoria to audition for a lead role in the Telus Optik webseries that I worked on for a few years. We casted him.
He's now co-owner & producer at Orca Cove Media with my old film production executive producer, Leslie Bland.

There's two #IndigenousFilm screenings at #UVIC in March with 2 films from Ocra Cove.

Beau used his day off to go hiking up a mountain to do some #CedarBark #harvesting for more traditional #CoastSalish #weaving work.
He sent me photos as he hiked through the forest. These are just the bark harvest related photos with one fairy slipper orchid wildflower photo - he knows my fave colour is purple 🥰

For centuries #native #ClamGardens on #BritishColumbia #Westcoast provided #FirstNations with #clams & other #seafood .
In aftermath of 2021 #HeatDome - there's more interest in this #ancient #aquaculture technique. 

#Scientific experiments from #SFU #researchers & #CoastSalish #Indigenous ppl show clam gardens help #SeaLife stay cooler.
#Research aims to show how ancient #IndigenousPractices offers #ClimateChange #solutions in present.
