Post from Coastal First Nations

Wuikinuxv Creekwalkers have been hard at work in their watersheds, counting salmon, dead and live, taking samples, retracing the footsteps of the many before them. Indigenous peoples have always been and will always be the eyes and ears of the land and waters. More on the story to come.

Update from Alana Closs

What an incredible and successful week this past week was!! Filled with teamwork and uplifting energy, we managed to clean large stretches of coastline in Wuikinuxv territory that had marine debris accumulating on the shore. We found everything from huge pieces of styrofoam, massive PVC pipes that had to be dug out of the sand, rubber flip flop moldes, endless ropes wrapped around drift wood and stuck in trees, and even a large fishing net, which ended up being quite a technical and tricky removal! 
We are so thankful for the amazing people at Rugged Coast Research Society - Meg, Sasha, and Mara Li - who shared their energy and knowledge with us on how to safely and effectively remove and sort marine debris. We look forward to working with them on many more cleanups this summer and beyond. Lastly a massive shout out to our Wuikinuxv team who showed up and worked so incredibly hard to make the week such a success… Patrick Johnson, Sharon Adeline Wilson, Adam Bidu Nelson, Wàkàs Hanuse, Lena Collins, and Patrick Jr. ☺️ I appreciate you all so much

A few more photos and a slow mo vid from last week in the field. Video shows the beginning stage of the sorting process where all debris is set into piles for recycling based on material type. Photos and video taken by our lovely boat captain and Rugged Coast member Megan Baker.

There will be more of this to come throughout August and September as we work to clean as much of our territory's shoreline as possible! Happy Friday everyone!

Yau Wuikinuxv,
Our sonar analysis has determined that 120,000 Sockeye have passed the village as of today. This means that sockeye caught in the food fishery can now go to people with Wuikinuxv Ancestry who live outside of Kitit.
If you live in Kitit and you still do not have some fish put away, please reach out to someone from the Fisheries team and we can put you on the list to recieve fish.
There is a fisheries skiff at the dock with a river net in it, both of which can be signed out by experienced driftnet fishers if you sign a waiver and get someone from our team to show you how to use the boat. Get in touch if you'd like to sign it out.
Gianikaci!

Jason Slade
