Our Elders are concerned about anomalies in current weather patterns that are affecting availability of traditional foods and materials, which in turn are impacting the well-being of individuals and communities. This film records Nisga’a women traveling to the glacial food-producing areas of the Nass Valley and discussing how they would traditionally produce food, materials, and useful structures within the “glacial refugia” or high mountain permafrost regions: areas where species were known to increase their range and abundance. We also look at how this knowledge is shared across generations.
