#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."

Beau working with Tyler, from #Esquimalt #FirstNation - crafting the maple branches for day 2 of men's group healing event. These will be used to mount the salmon we will be cooking over the fire this morning.
Beau & I are heading out to meet Tyler soon to build fire, butterfly & mount the salmon & other related preparation work.

It's a gorgeous day in Esquimalt & #Songhees territories. Sunny & warm morning!
