Spent the day learning #Dakelh culture, beading and lahal - complete with drumming and #Dakelh singing. Was a fantastic day. Thank you to #Saikuz for your monthly family culture events!

Also starting to #write #localhistory of a Dakelh community, previously only #colonial, #settler version told. Haven't decided on publishing in bits, as a #blog or in a booklet.... dream of doing something interactive and fully digital. #Dakelh
