Inside a Forest II Two huge conifers (lodgepole pines, I'm guessing?) centred amidst a welter of other trees. The green is overwhelming and falls and droops almost like fabric. Church in Yuquot Village A small, austere, white church, with a graveyard full of crosses peeking out from behind it. The whole thing is absolutely dwarfed by the forest it is set against. The pale color and hard lines of the building make it really leap out of the dark forest Strangled by Growth A huge carven face peeks out from between branches Big Raven Maybe her most famous work? That or Vanquished. Anyway: it's a big carved raven standing out on a partially-cleared hillside, under grey skies

Two artists from different cultures have come together to create a project that tells the story of the Wolf Clan at Yuquot on Nootka Island — a place of first contact with Europeans and Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations.

This research may not be a surprise to Indigenous elders or local archaeologists (i.e., bluefin tuna were first recovered from the Nuu-chah-nulth archaeological site of Yuquot in the late 1960s)

why are the wikipedia photos of Yuquot Whalers' Shrine so creepy that's like something that would be used as an SCP photo in 2009 but two or three years later it would get deleted for being culturally insensitive

Celebration! Return of the shrine, Yuquot Whalers Washing House, sold by 2 Elders, to be taken from its secret, sacred site when all other inhabitants were away. The American Museum of Natural History never openly displayed it tho' did put out a small model.

American Museum of Natural History had a precious :mowachahtmuchalaht: Mowachaht/Muchalaht whaling shrine in storage for 120 years.

It's going home. 🙌🙌

The shrine was in a secret location near Yuquot, which was also the point of first contact between European […]

[Original post on socialbc.ca]
A dark skinned First Nations man stands and speaks. He is wearing a heavy brown jacket. Some people are standing behind him. There are also some drawings or paintings. They are standing in hall of the church at Yoquot. The caption says: "It wasn't to be spoken of or displayed or anything like that," explained Mowachaht/Muchalaht Tyee Ha'wilth Mike Maquinna, who awaits a period of helping his people understand how the whalers' shrine should be respected.

Even at the time, the acquisition was controversial. A researcher named George Hunt traveled to Yuquot, a village near the shrine, to try to purchase it...a chief agreed to sell it for $500 only to return the money the next day following objections from his community.
