Around Tow Hill in Masset, Haida Gwaii, British Columbia, Canada 

theses pics affraid me, i remember a bad feeling you know when you feel the death is there....

oh trust me it's way more than simply beautiful. The complexities of the legends of the Haida, the original peoples here blow the left-brained mind with so much. Tow hill was the domain of the twin giant brothers, until in a huge fight Tow threw his brother over the cliff. There are legends of several Tsunamis, with first person accounts passed down. When you go to a Haida seafood potluck in a huge hall on reserve, you eat like royalty, the servers are all White Islanders practicing the elders protocol as adoptees are required, showing humility & respect. Watching the young Haida dancing group so enlivens the creature whose mask they wear. A women teachers group drums & encourages their particular creatures body movement & supernatural powers. Then the deep rainforest, streams running wild, mucky earth & 500-800 yr old, ancient trees at the deeply mossed head waters sources blows the mind; Skagway aka Ninstints southern most pre-colonial village out of 24+ holds the energetic memory of 2 incidents with the deadly White colonizers who didn't respect, assumed wrongly and paid dearly for their ignorance, violence...killed the princess, the daughter of the Skangway Haida Chief. There are totem poles still standing and slowly returning to the earth; the dug in Longhouse frames are visible, but the energy was palpable to me, It felt very strong/powerful I alive-stuck dark negative energy yet to be healed.
