This First Nations man came from Vancouver to Alert bay to do his part in the preparing of the smoking of salmon. He is cutting up cedar sticks and placing sockeye fillets on the cedar sticks like a weaver.

He has been a fisherman and a logger for most of his live but now he build boats in Vancouver but alway returns home to help his family with the yearly catching of the salmon and the canning and smoking of this wonderful wild food. Sockeye salmon is the very best. We found the people wonderfully friendly and helpful. We hope go back some day and spend some time on this incredible island. Thanks everyone at Alert Bay.
