Sacred Burial Grounds (2)

Sacred Burial Grounds
of First Nations people in Alert Bay, Cormorant Island ... as a white person I could not enter the sacred site, but photography from a distance was allowed ....
Alert Bay on Cormorant Island, formerly a thriving fishing village on the BC coast, is the oldest community on northern Vancouver Island. Heritage buildings and old village houses on the waterfront still speak of the early pioneer days, where a fish saltery was in 1870. The waterfront boardwalks, ferry dock and marinas bustle with life, but most vivid today is the living culture of the ‘Namgis First Nation of the Kwakwaka’wakw.
Alert Bay is internationally renowned as a centre for First Nation culture and is the “Home of the Killer Whale’’.
