Above: Nuxalkmc youth arriving at the Ix7piixm hot springs after paddling by canoe for an entire day from Bella Coola. They camped over night and relaxed at the ancient Nuxalk site of healing waters before continuing to the totem pole raising at Talyu. The cabin at the hot springs was built in the 1990s as part of the Nuxalk reoccupation of our traditional land. |
