But the salmon has been a vital part of First Nations diet, economy and mythology for centuries.<br \/>\nBefore European contact, salmon was an important trade item, and featured prominently in a wide variety of legends, art and spiritual ceremonies.<\/p>\n<p>In some stories, salmon are considered returning relatives, further personalizing and deepening the connection to the Aboriginal people who depended on salmon for survival and sustenance. It was also a versatile food, which could be eaten fresh from a catch, or dried in a smoke house for the winter months\u2026 a tradition still practised today. Perhaps that is the ultimate lesson.<\/p>\n<p>Elder Philips says the salmon reminds us of the struggles each of us has to go through, but it also continues to teach us about the past, the importance of honouring tradition and our own place in the cycle of life.\u200b<\/p>\n<h2>TVO Raven&#8217;s Quest &#8211; Chyyah<\/h2>\n<p>Chyyah is an 8-year-old girl from the NuChaNulth Nation, in Port Alberni, British Columbia.

Excellent source for demonstrating how important salmon and the fishery is to Indigenous people today and in the past.<\/p>\n<p>As distinct fishing societies of great spiritual, cultural and economic wealth, First Nations have always respected the resources of their rivers and oceans. But within their own lifetime, they have watched governments &#8220;manage&#8221; the fishery into a state of crisis. Now it&#8217;s time for people to listen to what Natives have to say. Filmmaker Barb Cranmer, a member of the &#8216;Namgis First Nation, explores the rich fishing traditions of the Sto:lo Heiltsuk and &#8216;Namgis peoples of Canada&#8217;s West Coast in Laxwesa Wa &#8211; Strength of the River. With over fifteen years&#8217; experience fishing Johnstone Strait with her father, Cranmer presents rarely heard stories of traditional fishing practices and documents Native peoples&#8217; efforts to build a sustainable fishery for the future.<\/p>\n<h2>Kwak&#8217;wala and Sliammon words for Salmon<\/h2>\n<p>Found in the attached PowerPoint with audio embedded.

The seasonal round was chosen as a theme for this unit because it lends itself well to integrating the topics of BC First Nations study in Social Studies, and habitat in Science.<\/p>\n<p>A seasonal round: also known as the annual round \u2026 refers to the pattern of movement from one resource-gathering area to another in a cycle that was followed each year. Spring, summer and fall saw the people moving to a variety of resource areas while during the harsher winter they gathered in winter villages. The abundance of resources also determined how often people moved. In areas that had a greater abundance of variety, people could stay in one location for longer than in areas where resources were scarcer. Campbell, Kenneth, Charles Menzies, and Brent Peacock. B.C.

Ideas to the K&#8217;omoks First Nation that are important and put into practice are sustainability, respect and care taking of the land. Could you please talk to your students about this same practice while visiting outdoor areas and while on this tour. If you could specifically ask students to tread lightly on the shoreline, leave everything in its place, especially the small crabs (leave them on ground, do not step on them or poke them with sticks) that they will see when on the harbour.<\/p>\n<p>Also we find a reminder about what outdoor learning looks like and sounds like would be great and how that would look different than free beach time playing, which perhaps could be given before or after the fish trap tour with us.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bThanks all for helping to ensure that this is a successful and meaningful visit.<\/p>\n<p>In most school libraries, you will find the book called, Orca Chief, by Roy Henry Vickers. It would be an excellent book to discuss with your class about respecting the environment.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-958\"

distinctive tool stone found exclusively in the northern Cascade range of Washington and British Columbia. Over the last two decades, archeologist Bob Mierendorf has studied quarries near today&#8217;s Ross Lake reservoir that reveal a 10,000 year long record of indigenous involvement with this rugged, high-mountain landscape. The word Hozomeen means &#8220;sharp, like a sharp knife.&#8221; Its story cuts across time and place, cultures and borders, archeology and oral histories, connecting us all as human beings. As Bob says, we&#8217;re all descended from people who used stone to make their tools. &#8220;It&#8217;s what put food on the table for thousands of years.&#8221; Produced by: Benjamin Drummond and Sara Joy Steele, bdsjs.com Funded by: Skagit Environmental Endowment Commission\u200b\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n<div class='avia-iframe-wrap'><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Hozomeen: A story about chert, identity, and landscape\" width=\"1500\" height=\"844\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uyqjLqJoTWo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/indigenous-education\/resources\/land-and-sea\/#toggle-id-9\">Atlatl\u200b<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Atlatls are ancient weapons that preceded the bow and arrow in most parts of the world and are one of humankind\u2019s first mechanical inventions.

At first, the elaborate arrangement of 300 ingenious traps on the sandy flats of the river mouth harvested herring, which still mass to spawn off the east coast of Vancouver Island every March.But 700 years ago, perhaps in response to climate change, the technology was altered to exploit pink, chum, coho, chinook and possibly sockeye salmon.<\/p>\n<p>Highly coordinated traps equal in technological
