Jen and Dave: Adventuring

This morning we visited the Haida Heritage Centre, a wonderful museum and place of learning about Haida history, colonial impacts, and present day culture. Most of the museum did not allow photos, but highlights included the weaving of aay aay, a collection of argillite carvings (a rare stone found in Haida Gwaii that is reserved for Haida artist use), and of course lootaas, a fifty foot war canoe carved by Bill Reid (pictured).

After the museum we visited a few shops and wandered the waterfront, enjoying local albacore tuna poke, and had a restful afternoon at our accommodations. Tomorrow is a big boat trip, and we needed time to prepare and be well-rested.
