We stopped at Tin Wis (which means calm waters in ƛaʔuukʷiʔatḥ (Tla-o-qui-aht)) as we left n̓ančiqs (Tofino) this morning. Thank you for sharing this beautiful place and teachings. .tribal.parks

A fantastic last day! Starting with A Walk in the Forest at Lost Shoe Creek with Jadyn and Wes from where we saw examples of restoration at work. A lunch break at Big Beach in Ucluelet, the views were great - even a strong enough signal for some Olympic hockey. We then visited with Dave and James to learn about their salmon hatchery work. Thank you for an incredible week.

Amazing afternoon visiting Wanačas Hiłhuu?is with .tribal.parks. There are no words to describe our visit. Thank you for the ride.

We started our day at Naa ‘waya ‘sum Gardens and meeting Dan from Clayoquot Action to learn more about war in the woods and the impact of fish farms along BCs coast. Thank you .action

Yesterday was a packed day, so the photo update is happening this morning. Another beautiful day.
