Note the

dance as remembering |

El Nino Year
|

Graph
left we see that February 2010 was warmest of series for PR Airport – noting
that February 2009 was a La Nina year and colder than ‘normal’ Graph
below shows took less ‘heat’ to keep houses warm in February 2010 and below
average precipitation – though not as ‘dry’ as 2009 (data skewed because numerous days
missing) |

Yes we have
Daffodils in bloom – but I saw no salmonberry blooms |
|
A
woman who seemed to remember these kind of things remarked that in ‘last El
Nino’ there were salmonberries blooming in February --- The buds at top of this
page are lilacs and all the salmonberries I saw were still a week from
opening – though I did see huckleberries blooming on Feb 28th
Rushbrooke Floats area – see image below |

But
where will they park? – Perhaps room behind building for parking – or may
purchase – more later |

restraint |

Here Haida
Gwaii Spirit Dance group |

The
‘star’ of this episode was the Eagle figure with rustling wings |

Spirit comes
to burn regalia |

Stood
6’8 and had an ‘malevolent’ mask that scared the kids etc – went around
pointing to drums etc that were then placed in ‘pile’ (pink arrow below)
where later ‘burned’ |

Laxgalts'ap ceremonial Dancers at Hobiyee Saturday
|
More later
|
|
Was
interesting how this series of dances each with a ‘story’ – from the burning
of ‘Greenville’ in 1921 when men away fishing ‘Eulachon’ so had to be fought
by women and children to the present with a Seiner out in heavy seas (swells)
etc ---- Later I will argue the Hobiyee ceremonies part of a Renaissance
dating from 1990s which includes things like Frieda Diesing teaching carving
in a local shop during evenings etc. |
