Thank you for so generously sharing this friend with your readers. I also liked hearing about your father. We all have such intricate connections - like mitochondria-enriching our lives.

I enjoyed this story very much. For me it was a previously unknown time and place and people and your writing honored everyone in it. Thank you for sharing this tender memory.

I love this this. We spent a lot of time in Kitimat a few years ago and became very close to a Haisla chief (not the one who just got elected as a Tory MP). Kitimaat Village is lovely.

Thanks, Christine. The NFB film about the return of the totem pole is wonderful. I’ve included a link; it’s 70 minutes long. I’ll be writing about it next time, as I said.

Meanwhile, hope you’re well.

Hauntingly provocative. Maybe this piece will find a reader who can shed some light on your unanswered questions.I will read the novel you mention.
