the campground we are staying at is in on an indian reservation in moricetown, british Columbia. the office was closed when we arrived so we found a spot and would pay in the morning. jerry walked around and found someone that knew the password for the wifi. the woman he talked to was indian and had a pickup truck full of fruit she was offering it to everyone. she insisted jerry take some. so he did.
jerry went to visit their camp again later and that’s when he was invited to go fishing. by one of the younger men. he didn’t know they would leave at five in the morning though, so he missed it. they were fishing on indian land so he thought he couldn’t anyway. he found out later if you are invited by a member then it’s ok. he missed this big fish.
the one that got away
we paid in the morning, and they invited us to a celebration that was going on that day. a celebration of the returning of the salmon. only a mile from camp. how lucky are we?
it was a wonderful experience. the food was a feast and was all delicious. everyone was friendly. the chiefs of three tribes came in full dress and made speeches. it took place along the river that the salmon return to every year. this celebration has been going on for five years to get the younger people involved in some of the traditions of the past.
volunteers serve the elders first
our camp was just across the river. we explored a little and watched them catch and release the salmon. so………….
stay tuned for the next post
Once in awhile-now and again-this is us 
The food looks good. How nice that you were able to experience that special event.
What a truly wonderful day. -Sharon
it was a great day. something we’ll probably never come across again.
It’s really fun to see that because you guys are open to what the road has to offer, you get offered such unique opportunities. Fabulous!
we do have fun. no timetable let’s us take advantage of these things.
hey where’s my picture? by the way tracy, the first nation doesn’t have to release on their side of the river.
