Part of British Columbia Provincial Museum films, videotapes and audio recordings
The item is a documentary narration track. Ecologist and nature photographer Bristol Foster, Ph.D., introduces the coastal area of British Columbia, including the Queen Charlotte Islands, where we see eagles, sea lions and a Peale's falcon, as well as evidence of the ancient culture of the Haida. The Kwakiutl raise a new totem pole for the first time in 30 years, a sign that the ancient skills have not been lost.
