Band-aid solutions are not going to fix the #flooding problems in the #Chemainus River #watershed - Chief James Thomas from the #Halalt #FirstNation told #NorthCowichan council last month. He said the watershed and its #salmon are in #jeopardy mainly due to #logging practices that were conducted upstream in the watershed over the past 50 years.

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.

Digesting Food Studies—Episode 105: Indigenous Food Sovereignty
Although Indigenous food sovereignty has been attacked and eroded by multiple histories of colonial oppression, rebuilding it can happen—through intergenerational learning, land-based practices, and relationality.https://rss.com/podcasts/digesting-food-studies/2185102/
Kaylee Michnik, talks about her article, “Moving Your Body, Soul, and Heart to Share and Harvest Food” from Vol. 8, No. 2 of Canadian Food Studies (https://doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v8i2.446), including the roles we all play in reconciliation & decolonization. Courtney Vaughan offers a response to the text and its challenges. Starting it off is Alexia Moyer’s account of the tasty and tenuous history of camas cultivation by Coast Salish peoples.#DigestingFoodStudies

#ThrowbackThursday
2020.#Laichwiltach Nation’s Hereditary Chief Tsahaukuse's (aka George Quocksister Jr.) traditional, #handwoven Chief's #hat. Made from yellow #cedar bark with beading & an #EagleFeather attached.
Sitting in front of the woven hat is a row of some #handcarved miniature canoe #paddles, carved from red & yellow cedar. Chief Darren Blaney of the #Xwémalhkwu aka #Homalco #FirstNation #carved over 100 of these paddles. They were carved in #honour of the many young Homalco lives lost.#Indigenous #CoastSalish #BCFirstNations #IndigenousBC #NativeCanada #IndigenousArt #NativeArt #IndigenousCanada #handmade #BritishColumbia #PacificNorthwest #ButeInlet #ImOnABoat #VancouverIsland #CoastalBC #BCCoast #Cascadia #Salishan #PNW #Comox #photography

One of the new Indigenous friends that I made at the ribbon skirt workshop this weekend, Kecia, is a fellow weirdo Aquarian & from Namgis First Nation in Alert Bay. Although we just met, I've met some of her family from her birthplace prior - it was really cool to chat about those unexpected connections.
Kecia brought this bag that her niece, Brianna Dick, made. It's a gorgeous #PurpleCamas #CoastSalish design.
Brianna has an #OnlineStore where you can see/buy some of her #handmade #Indigenous #ArtsAndCrafts
https://briannabearart.bigcartel.com/#BriannaBearArt is an Indigenous - owned and founded, #Canadian #artist store established in 2020 by Brianna Bear. Based in the traditional territory of the #Lekwungen, place to smoke herring lands of the #Songhees and #Esquimalt nations in #VictoriaBC.
Brianna started first as an artist with more than fifteen plus years of experience. She began learning under her grandfather Skip Dicks younger brother, Butch Dick. Afterwards she branched out into discovering her roots and design through her #cultural connections to Songhees & #Namgis formline design.
Today, working as one of a few Indigenous female artist within her traditional territory of the Songhees people, she has worked on murals, logos, small business designs, small event designs and more!
Brianna believes in telling stories through her design as you will see through this site."

#RoyalRoadsUniversity recently unveiled its new #Indigenous #MedicineGarden – a project designed to give #students and #community members a chance to learn about #plants that the #Lekwungen speaking peoples have used since time immemorial.
Solara Goldwynn, Royal Roads' farm and #FoodSystems lead, and Kenneth Elliot, #EthnoBotanist and #CowichanElder, chose the garden’s colourful mix of plants, most of which grow naturally in the traditional territories of the Lekwungen-speaking peoples (southern #VancouverIsland and the #SanJuanIslands and #GulfIslands
