Georgia Straight. Now to be PC it is called the Salish sea.
Left a few empty beer bottles along that shoreline in my misspent youth.
But it is PC bullsh!t. So it is good. Just like they renamed Queen Charlotte Islands Haida Gwui.
Ain't google wonderful?
Kind of if enough people used it we could eliminate ignorance once and for all.
Knock it back a few notches anyway.
I live on East Vancouver Island and this is the first I had heard about it lol. Thanks Bill.
There was one error in the CBC report. In 1700 there was a massive tsunami that hit the west coast and wiped out 90% of the human population. At that time, Interior Salish people went to the coast yearly to trade for fish oil (Oolican ?). That year when they arrived they found only a handful of stragglers. That is when many Interior Salish peoples moved to the coast. They absorbed the survivors but also their culture, which is why the coastal culture varies quite a bit from the interior cultures. Anyway, it has been the Salish sea for 5 years now and that is what the aboriginal peoples of the west coast want to protect from oil super tankers and dirty oil spills.
A short video showing the kind of work volunteers in many places along the coast are doing to try and bring levels of spawning Herring back to historic levels.
This is @ a place called Pender Harbour-an old hangout of mine from the 70's & 80's-just south of where the first video was taken.

Complete Bee Ess and just what we expect from you/yours.
What is BS about it. While writing a book about the Interior Salish tribe, the Sinixt, I did extensive studies on the history and the oral traditions of many nations. The information I got about the tsunami of 1700 was from a Coastal Salish elder.
On January 26, 1700 one of the world's largest earthquakes occurred along the west coast of North America and created a tsunami which completely destroyed the winter village of the Pachena Bay people with no survivors. These events are recorded in the oral traditions of the First Nations people on Vancouver Island. There is evidence of repeated tsunamis inundating our west coast following giant megathrust earthquakes in the Cascadia seismic zone.
Information on tsunamis
You owe me one.

FYI-that killed people on the Outside-villages around the Salish Sea were untouched/unaffected-the theory from the usual suspect re: whole cultures being extirpated is garbage.
It's Cliffy. There was indeed a nasty tsunami. Howe Sound was nailed hard, you can still find debris way the hell up slope on the west side of the sound.
