So awesome to see iNaturalist on Bluesky!!

So beautiful....and big! Please share photos of what you use them for!

Just told my partner today is their day to celebrate me..... so they are going to pack my stepstool for me today.

Excited about your book! Is Indian meal cornmeal?

#FortGeorge BC and #FortStJames are my areas of interest, please share more!

My Dakelh (Indigenous Canadian) husband and I will use it when working with our community to reconnect people to the land, plants, medicines, and culture.

Leathery on one side, the scales are off on the other, and the scale pockets leave a nice pattern

Pulled lengthwise (tail to head or vice versa) very strong. This is due to the fibres running in all directions due to the pressure fish face in the water.

Pulling from the belly to back or back to belly is easier to tear.

The leather is good for phone cases, bags, quilting or sewing, earrings

One photo is of a salmon we tanned, the other is tanned salmon with salmon and bought beads. Not happy with the result, but will keep practicing.

Extremely interesting document, who knew the money colonization of cow patties could save Canada!!

Traditionally, Indigenous people ate (and preserved for later use) things like Cottonwood buds, which are loaded with vitamin C.

This scurvy outbreak is another symptom of colonization and the loss of traditional practices and Indigenous knowledge.

Thanks - I will check it out! Excited to see Candy Cane Lane too!

Add me plz, new to Pr5George!
