#Gilakasla - #Welcome 🦅
#AlertBay has a boardwalk along #waterfront with 5 #roofed #lookouts - called #awakas - each has a #painted #carving overhead that represents a #Namgis ancestor.

This #TotemPole is laying on ground because it has a #broken #thunderbird #wing that needs to be put back on. The colours are very vivid in the rain.

#UmistaCulturalCentre was built on grounds of now demolished St. Michael's #ResidentialSchool in #AlertBay on #CormorantIsland . Owned & run by #NamgisNation on #NamgisTerritory . It houses their #potlatch #artifacts repatriated from colonizers who stole them. No photos allowed inside.

There's fir & cedar #trees - #growing out of the decaying old #dock #wood - which used to be a loading area for long abandoned fish saltery/cannery/fish nets sorting station. #Nature is incredibly #resilient & if left alone, it will #reclaim anything man has built.

Now #abandoned - 1st salted fish #cannery built in #AlertBay & used as #NamgisNation #fishingNets sort station after cannery closed.
#Built in 1862 by Mack & Neill. It targeted #NimpkishRiver fish, specifically #sockeye #salmon . Seasonal processing employed many Indigenous people. At about the same time, a Christian mission/school which had been established at Fort Rupert moved to Alert Bay to minister to the Indigenous population which was moving to the island to work in the cannery.
