Beau used his day off to go hiking up a mountain to do some #CedarBark #harvesting for more traditional #CoastSalish #weaving work.
He sent me photos as he hiked through the forest. These are just the bark harvest related photos with one fairy slipper orchid wildflower photo - he knows my fave colour is purple 🥰

Gorgeous early evening in #KulleetBay yesterday.
Seen from the beach at the rez.
#Stzuminus #FirstNation territory stretches over 1,200 hectares which includes four reserves; Say-la-quas 10, Squaw-hay-one 11, Oyster Bay 12, and Chemainus 13.
Stz’uminus First Nation members speak Hul’qumi’num.
The Stzʼuminus are well-known for their war canoes. The vessels can range from 19 to 52 feet long. They are made of cedar and hand carved.

Photos Beau sent me today. He has cleaned up the outdoor canoe carving workspace. Getting things ready to teach children when the May healing canoe program starts in Kuleet Bay.
