I met Harold Joe, a #Cowichan based #Indigenous knowledge keeper/teacher, actor & film producer, in 2015. He had come to Victoria to audition for a lead role in the Telus Optik webseries that I worked on for a few years. We casted him.
He's now co-owner & producer at Orca Cove Media with my old film production executive producer, Leslie Bland.
There's two #IndigenousFilm screenings at #UVIC in March with 2 films from Ocra Cove.

“I felt called to this adventure and really connected to it and really protective of the materials that they gave me and wanting to do right by them.”
Writer and multimedia artist Andrea Grant considers her newest literature offering, Modern Natives, An Illustrative Collection of Reimagined Coast Salish Myths, a “calling.”Almost a decade ago, Grant was gifted “amazing archival information” from her Coast Salish tribe, the Pune'luxutth'. The tribe primarily lives on lands in the Southern Gulf Islands and on Vancouver Island, B.C. The main community of Spune'luxutth is located on Penelakut Island.
