❝ The river won, the forest won, the memory of our ancestors won” […] What was arguably most impressive about this historic win was the apparently mismatched nature of the contest: on one side were about 1,000 local river defenders, mostly from the Munduruku, Arapiun and Apiaká peoples, and on the other were some of the most powerful forces of global capitalism and climate breakdown.

#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."

I highly suggest #bookmarking this incredibly in-depth, amazing #Educational #resource for #IndigenousFoods of #Canada 👇
Important educational project that's still in progress & continually updated!
The #StudentEncyclopedia of Indigenous Foods of Canada is an initiative by agriculture #students at the University of Guelph (Canada) under the supervision of Prof. Manish N. Raizada (Editor) and talented graduate students including from the #FirstNations and #Metis communities. The mission of the Encyclopedia is to share the rich food and agriculture history of the First Nations, Metis and #Inuit peoples of Canada. The #Encyclopedia is written in plain language and targeted at primary and high school students as well as the general public. Editing of the Encyclopedia remains in progress; however, the site has been published to allow early access.

#Beach gooseneck #barnacles find.
There's 3 different types of barnacles found in BC waters/on beaches - acorn, gooseneck & whale - the latter grows on whales' bodies. Barnacles are a longtime, year-round staple #seafood for coastal #Indigenous #FirstNations. In particular, the #Haida & #Kwakwakawakw & #Pacheedaht #FirstPeoples have several documented stories involving barnacles, including food prep recorded histories.
Barnacles are #ancient and can be dated to the middle of Cambrian period of Paleozoic because of Burgess Shale deposits in #BritishColumbia. They're #hermaphroditic #MarineAnimals.

Australian First Peoples have survived here for at least 65,000 yrs.
They’ve lived through an ice age, volcanic eruptions, shared the land with giant animals that no longer exist - precious knowledge that’s been passed down thru 2,300 generations.
