Hello. I’ve been very busy this week, but don’t feel like I’ve accomplished much. Working at the Kaay ‘Llnagaay Haida Heritage Centre is a lot of fun, but it does seem to take a lot of time to get things done. Everything I do seems to depend on someone else doing their bit, which holds things up. Ha, I’m not used to working for government organizations anymore lol.
Regardless, it’s a great place to work though and I really do enjoy it. The people are wonderful and you get to meet people from around the world. Just today, I met an elderly couple from Burnaby, BC and yesterday ladies from New Zealand and Australia; last week it was a fellow from England looking to do some kayaking in the area. You never know who you’ll meet, which makes it fun.
I've included several photos today of Marcelle Russ, who is the local carver I mentioned last week. I wanted to include a few more pictures to give you some idea of the area of the Haida Heritage Centre where carvers can come to work. It is quite interesting to watch them and I enjoyed hanging out, if only for a while. I've been waiting for them to come back and finish but I've not seen then again. Will have to keep you posted on the final outcome if I'm fortunate enough to be here at
the right time. Note: I'll try to add the photos a bit later. The system is not being agreeable lately. (The photo to left is actually from a Bill Reid pole carving.)
I’m looking forward to my trip down to Skedans next week on Louise Island. I’m going by boat with Morseby Island Explorers who have been outfitting in this area for some time. Should be fun and I’m hoping to see some whales. I’ve not seen any quite yet, which has been a little disappointing.
Over the weekend I’ll just be working and nothing much to report so will leave off blogging this coming Sunday. I’ll post another blog on Wednesday to tell you how the big adventure goes and will have a few great pictures to share with you for sure.
Have a great day,
Kelly
