  1. #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."

  6. 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.

  11. Part of the old #Namgis #BurialGrounds - there's a new one, in different area of island. When the memorial totems fall down, they're left there because BC coastal #FirstNations believe it's part of the natural cycle of returning ancestors to their lands; post physical deaths.

  12. There's fir & cedar #trees - #growing out of the decaying old #dock #wood - which used to be a loading area for long abandoned fish saltery/cannery/fish nets sorting station. #Nature is incredibly #resilient & if left alone, it will #reclaim anything man has built.

  13. The abandoned Mac & Neill fish saltery/cannery & then native fishing nets sorting station. It's falling apart slowly. I got some more images of it today, while walking the oceanfront boardwalk.
