I had one of those memorable #VancouverIsland days recently. A gathering of friends on the beach, salmon cooked around the fire, oysters (tluqw tluqw) picked off the beach and steamed around the fire, clams (s’aqw) steamed under the sand. Veggies were steamed nettles and maple flowers picked from nearby trees. Being fed by the land with food gathered by friends and cooked in traditional ways on the beach. #pnw #indigenous

I have my cormorants in a row. Everything is under control. Or is it?
