www.granvilleonline.ca This is the video accompaniment to the book "Flight of the hummingbird," which we reviewed in the Summer issue of Granville. The parable of a hummingbird that takes small steps toward achieving a big goal has its origins with the Haida people of the Pacific Northwest and the Quechan people of South America. It forms the basis for this slim volume illustrated by Vancouver-based artist Michael Yahgulanaas in his contemporary "Haida manga" comic book style. Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas produced this short insightful clip highlighting the main character (Dukdukdiya). Animated in the same 'haida manga' style, the animals are displaced after their forest catches fire. Dukdukdiya carries single drops of water to the raging fire, doing what she can herself to fight the flames. Small in length but huge in feeling, this video is only the beginning of the message.

Nitro's Raven Steals The Light from Planet Glossolalia a 10000 year old story for SarahSLH the pentacostal xenoglossian. PLEASE COMMENT RATE SHARE WITH ALL FRIENDS. For many thousands of years before anyone ever heard of jesus, the Tlingit and Haida People along this wild coast have been telling the creation story, complete with a virgin mother, around campfire and in their longhouses. I am sending it to my friend, saraSLH, the pentacostal glossolalian, speaker of tongues and true fanatic bible believer. In the beginning the world was in total darkness. The Raven, who had existed from the beginning of time, was tired of groping about and bumping into things in the dark. Eventually the Raven came upon the home of an old man who lived alone with his daughter. Through his slyness, the Raven learned that the old man had a great treasure. This was all the light in the universe, contained in a tiny box concealed within many boxes.At once the Raven vowed to steal the light. He thought and thought, and finally came up with a plan. He waited until the old man's daughter came to the river to gather water. Then the Raven changed himself into a single hemlock needle and dropped himself into the river, just as the girl was dipping her water-basket into the river. As she drank from the basket, she swallowed the needle. It slipped and slithered down into her warm belly, where the Raven transformed himself again, this time into a tiny human. After sleeping and growing there for a very ...

Entry from: Moresby Island, Canada Entry Title: "Journey to Gwaii Haanas" Entry: "After breakfast we were picked up by our Moresby Explorers guide and taken by van to Camp Moresby where we would embark on our 4 day exploration of Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve and Haida Heritage Site. Our guide was Laura who had grown up on the Islands with a marine biologist for a mother and was very knowledgeable in Island history and flora and fauna. We also met our fellow adventurers: Sha'ari - a women from Seattle, and Meredith, Ray, Elijah and Haley Jane - a family from the Kootenays of BC. We were all given raingear and despite the nice weather, bundled up and boarded the Zodiac Hurricane, a 26 foot rigid hull inflatable which would be our tour boat for the next few days. Once underway, we were glad for the raingear to keep us warm in the cool breeze. We made several stops, staying aboard, to admire the abundant marine life which included many types of starfish, urchins, birds and Harbour Seals. Our first point to disembark was the abandoned village of K'uuna LLnagaay, named Skedans by Europeans after the Chief. At its height, the village had between 26 to 30 longhouses. The village was abandoned in the 1880s near the end of the smallpox epidemic that killed off about 90% of the Haida population of the ...

www.cjharel.com From the top of their pole, Haida Watchmen who might have been on the lookout for invaders from foreign lands centuries ago are now welcoming visitors to Skidegate. Master harvesters, carvers and navigators, the Haida were true masters of the sea. A visit at the Haida Heritage Centre in Skidegate is the best way to start seeing the world through the eyes of a very successful nation with great knowledge, elaborate trade networks, rich material culture and a wealth of traditions. There are as many histories of Canada as there are are First Nations. If anything, the Haida have reclaimed their history in an inspiring way -- one where they are again taking control of their destiny, their resources. They are developing a tourism industry that is based on sound stewardhip practices. And quite frankly, the Haida are showing the world a part of Canada that most Canadians know very little about and that most will likely never see. Because, to come here and to experience Haida Gwaii the way it should be experienced requires from visitors that they be prepared to be exposed to a world that has very little to do with what most of us were led to believe Canada was like when we went to school. My first impression of Haida Gwaii was that of a land inhabited by a people who draw their identity from the place they inhabit with great wisdom. It seems one of the lessons I learned is that material wealth can play a positive role in how a people grounds itself in the ...

The interconnectedness between the people who live here, the role nature plays in lending the islands their sense of place, and the Pacific Northwest all inspire meaning to any journey to Canada's "Misty Isles". The people here speak of "island time". What is it really? Perhaps, Island time is just time spent living the rhythms that regulate life in the Queen Charlotte Islands.
