A swordfish was found on Haida Gwaii. Will more follow as waters get warmer? | CBC News
A University of British Columbia researcher says the finding is unusual but no longer unexpected due to warming waters worldwide, including in Canada.

"We're still here."

And how!

👇 Champaigne and Aishihik Adminstrative Bldg, Haines Junction; Migizii Agamik, Winnipeg; Haida Heritage Centre, Skidegate; Wabano Centre, Ottawa.
A clean, crisp-lines wooden building with several windows is perched atop a rocky mound. An undulating path and stone wall leads to a stone building with a glass porch. A row of modern longhouse-style buildings with central totem poles recedes into the distance. And undulating, irregular stone and glass building sits on a city street as pedestrians pass by.

[Levitating, eyes glowing]: Any First Nation with a maritime tradition plausibly has an Aboriginal right to fast-track a shipyard (almost) completely immune from provincial legislation.

I want it to be Haida Gwaii for the Scapa Flow parallel, but mainland probably makes more sense.

G&M corrected it, they misinterpreted, he was talking about the next time BC orders ferries, not this current deal

Raven Rattle, Skidegate, BC — T'smsyen (Tsimshian) culture, 19th century
Cedar, pebbles, polychrome
31 × 10.3 × 10.5 cm

www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti...
A view of this beautiful wooden rattle from here we see this red sort of devil guy sticking his tongue out of and a double guy is at all appropriate to and a double guy is at all appropriate to say but from the cultural references I have that's what he looks like to me Met description: "Most often associated with shamanic practices on the Northwest Coast, raven rattles are held oriented with the bird's beak pointing down when used in dance. Additionally, rattles like this are used to channel a shaman's spirit guide and can be used in healing ceremonies. Much of the symbolism associated with this rattle comments on the transmission of power from one figure to the next—the raven to humankind in general (as oral tradition states) and the kingfisher to the prone figure on the raven's back. The prone figure is personified with a face of a wolf, perhaps another guide of the owner of this rattle. Rattles are considered extremely personal objects and bear specific symbolism and power known only by those who understand their meaning. As symbols of power, rattles are also kept by clan leaders. Carved in two pieces and assembled using wooden pins to secure the halves, a rattle usually contains small stones or seeds. Polychrome adornment exhibits the pale blue pigmentation common during the late nineteenth century. It is common for raven rattles to be further adorned with feathers, fur, and beads, particularly along the seam of the two halves and at the handle base." A side view where we can see we can see on the right the human shaped sort of red figure with the stuff sticking out and on the left what I think is raven done in that you know great Northwest Native American Style which I knew other words for it than other words for it than to just point at that General area of cultural production A third View again I'm not again I'm not sure if this side of the rattle supposed to look like a raven or maybe the whole thing is a raven it looks good but i have trouble deciphering the figuration
