#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.

When the water and #debris reached the wider valley of #SouthgateRiver, a lot of the #sediment was deposited in a gigantic alluvial fan, and the water (and some sediment) turned abruptly right, and headed a further ~10km to the ocean at #ButeInlet. Photo

Two years ago today, in a steep valley in a tributary of #ButeInlet, #BritishColumbia, a huge #rockavalanche (#landslide) (18.6 ± 0.34 million m3) descended about 1000m to crash onto a glacier and into #ElliotLake. https://www.nationalobserver.com/2020/12/15/news/landslide-bute-inlet-wildlife-habitat-marine-traffic
Massive landslide in Bute Inlet wipes out wildlife habitat, poses risks to marine traffic along B.C. coast

The washout has devastated hundreds of acres of forest, severely damaging salmon spawning grounds and sweeping trees, rocks and mud into Bute Inlet.
