#ThrowbackThursday
2020.

#Laichwiltach Nation’s Hereditary Chief Tsahaukuse's (aka George Quocksister Jr.) traditional, #handwoven Chief's #hat. Made from yellow #cedar bark with beading & an #EagleFeather attached.
Sitting in front of the woven hat is a row of some #handcarved miniature canoe #paddles, carved from red & yellow cedar. Chief Darren Blaney of the #Xwémalhkwu aka #Homalco #FirstNation #carved over 100 of these paddles. They were carved in #honour of the many young Homalco lives lost.

A cedar woven hat sits on a surface, featuring a prominent eagle feather attached at the top, with beading around the brim & wrapped around eagle feather tip. Several carved cedar paddles of varying shapes and sizes are arranged in front of the hat. The background includes hints of a fishing boat environment with ropes and containers.

Canada's National Observer · The OccupationAlex and Hereditary Chief George Quocksister Jr. used GoPro cameras and divers to record what was happening underneath the fish farms. When the footage was shown to First Nations communities, there was shock and sadness, then anger.
