The Big House in Bella Bella.
A beautiful house, used for celebrations, community eating, dancing, singing. We were invited to a community lunch there 150 people were served cod, prawns, crab, potato salad, coleslaw. A wonderful community to visit. 'You are welcome to come and eat with us'. Thank you, I said. But this is for the community. 'Yes, you are here, you are part of the community. You are welcome, bring your family'. What an impressive friendliness, that we met all over the short visit in this small town. Read about the Heiltsuk nation here: http://www.heiltsuknation.ca/
The carving on the left post is the wild woman of the forest. Like the women that the white people tell their children to behave - or else the woman of the forest would come.
