Port McNeil

We have come into Port McNeil, we were here for quite a bit going north. We have tracked down the starter problem to an ignition problem. We've provisioned up for the trip back to Vancouver and are heading off again tomorrow. The boys and I have had a great trip to the local swimming pool yesterday, the sun even came out for the few hours we were there.

We went over to Alert bay on the ferry today to visit U'Mista the culture centre for the tribe of the Kwakwa̱ka̱ʼwakw today. The totems and Potlatch collection were incredible. This is not a just a museum to display and honor a past culture but a centre like the Haida one in Skidegate that allows the culture to remain strong. It provides a place for the youth to learn their language, dance and carving skills as well as record and document the stories and traditions of the elders.
