Kildala Sun Spirits

This image is based on a photo that I took while living on Kildala Arm for five months in 1982. Kildala Arm lies within the Traditional Territories of The Haisla People.

Ever present in the historic, day-to -day lives of The Haisla, were considerations of the 'Spirit World', and its inhabitants.

Since times of pre-Western contact, The Haisla People have navigated these waterways and these lands, hunting and gathering, in their ongoing quest for survival. Through this effort they developed a deep and abiding spiritual connection to the land.

This connection remains.
