#Namgis #FirstNation #BigHouse - #AlertBay #CormorantIsland. From my 2023 visit.
The Namgis #FirstPeoples use their big house for cultural #community events. #T̓sasała #Cultural Group uses the big house for sharing cultural teachings, songs & dances.
"You will see the next generation of #Kwakwa̱k̕a̱wakw sharing our culture to educate the world about our ancient songs, dances, teachings and values. These teachings are still being passed on today to the children of T'sasała.
You will witness the dances of the T̕seka, our red cedar bark ceremony. You will see the traditional dances that connect us to the land, sky, and sea. The #T̕seka will be followed by the T̕ła'sala ceremony - peace dances, then finally the #A̱mlala or fun dances where you will get a chance to join in."

If you're up in #Namgis territory/ #AlertBay - you'll want to try & get some yummy bannock eats from #DuchessBannockAndDesserts. The hours are irregular, like most small businesses on #CormorantIsland. If you luck out - you'll find the Duchess of #Bannock & she will fill your belly while engaging in lively conversations!
I found out on my 2023 trip there, that she's an Auntie/relative to some of my Indigenous friends 💗She gifted me a book, a magic hat bunny plushie & gave us free cheese bannock bites to eat on the ferry. We bought 3 different bannock goodies from her.

#Beach gooseneck #barnacles find.
There's 3 different types of barnacles found in BC waters/on beaches - acorn, gooseneck & whale - the latter grows on whales' bodies. Barnacles are a longtime, year-round staple #seafood for coastal #Indigenous #FirstNations. In particular, the #Haida & #Kwakwakawakw & #Pacheedaht #FirstPeoples have several documented stories involving barnacles, including food prep recorded histories.Barnacles are #ancient and can be dated to the middle of Cambrian period of Paleozoic because of Burgess Shale deposits in #BritishColumbia. They're #hermaphroditic #MarineAnimals.

@cbcbc_mirror #BCNDP & federal Liberals don't care about respecting #IndigenousRights. They have blown millions of tax dollars to sue Indigenous peoples in BC & they sic RCMP on native land defenders. #Colonizers never really changed & are still abusive/exploitive. They never planned to fully implement #UNDRIP.

Friendship welcome #TotemPole carving at #Stólõ #FirstNations reserve office. 2022.
#Stolo aka #Staulo, #Stalo or #Stahlo & commonly referred to in #ethnographic literature as #FraserRiverIndians or #LowerFraserSalish, are a group of First Nations peoples inhabiting the #FraserValley & lower #FraserCanyon of #BritishColumbia, #Canada, part of the grouping of #CoastSalish nations. Stó꞉lō is the #Halqemeylem word for "river", so the Stó꞉lō are the #RiverPeople.

"Tribes 101: About the Native nations that share geography with Washington state"
Great article in the Salish Current explaining tribal sovereignty in #WashingtonState and the 50th anniversary of the Boldt Decision that upheld native treaty rights.

#HappyThanksgiving everyone in #BellinghamWA and in particular on our #SubduedSocial Mastodon instance. In recognition that we live on the ancestral lands of our neighbors the #Lummi, #Nooksack, and other #CoastSalish peoples, I made another voluntary #LandTax donation to the Lhaq'temish Foundation equivalent to 10% of our hosting costs and domain registration fees over the past 6 months.
