SGang Gwaay means Remains of houses. This place is very much known for illustrating the lives, culture and traditions of the local people who lived there. It also elaborates the art and way of life of the Haida People. And thus allowing the people to get deep into their lives.Read More... https://bit.ly/3CrYkZa#sgang #gwaay #illustrating #abandoned #village #ninstints #tour #world #indiaimagine #travelphotography #travelgram #blogger #travelblogger #travelinggram #traveltheglobe #travelalone #travelmoments #blog #travellust #blogtour #photooftheday #picoftheday #lifestyle

Haida Totem Poles in SG̱ang Gwaay (Ninstints), British Columbia, Canada

SG̱ang Gwaay (also known in English as Ninstints) is a historic village site that contains many large wooden totem poles carved by the Haida people. The Haida are an indigenous people of the Americas who have lived for at least 13,000 years in the Haida Gwaii archipelago off the western coast of Canada. The totem poles in the village of SG̱ang Gwaay were made as family emblems, but the village was abandoned in the 19th century after a smallpox epidemic severely reduced the population.

ETERNALS SPOILERS

Marvel forehead touches:

Nat and Yelena

Nat and Clint

Shang-Chi and Wenwu

Sgang-Chi and Ying-Li

Sersi and Ikarus

Druig and Makkari

My point is, with one exception, the forehead touch has come just before the death of one person involved in it. So if Druig and Makkari don't get to live happily ever after in the next movies, I will riot.

Tibetan Sand Fox, Tibet 2017 by © Jan Reurink Via Flickr: Tibetan name Wha or Wamo,ཝ། . The Tibetan Sand Fox is one of the smaller fox species. It has thick, soft fur that protects it from the winds of the high mountains, with a dense undercoat that is brown to rusty yellow in color. The fur on the upper flanks is rusty, whereas the lower flanks and rump is colored gray, sometimes producing the illusion of a line along the animal's flank. The lower part of its ruff, as well as its throat, chest, and abdominal region is white. Small black patches on the shoulders set off the white chest.The tip of the tail is white. Adult Tibetan foxes are 60 to 70 centimetres (24 to 28 in) from head to body (juveniles are somewhat smaller) and a tail length of 29 to 40 centimetres (11 to 16 in). Weights of adults are usually 4 to 5.5 kilograms (8.8 to 12 lb). The Tibetan Sand Fox has a unique face that appears square; this is an illusion created by its large ruff. As seen in the Planet Earth episode "Great Plains", the fox keeps its body stiff and its head level when stalking. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibetan_Sand_Fox

Imagine reconnecting with your sister Xialing:

You almost didn't recognize her.

The baby sister you hadn't seen in over a decade, all grown up. She'd knocked the wind from you. You were still struggling to catch your breath when she left you there, on the ground. You looked at your brother and Katy, the two of them thinking the same thing. When you could you ran after her, all three of you. You called her name, the same name you hadn't said in a long time. Forever. She didn't look back. She didn't say a word. She just kept moving through the crowds without effort, dodging you, your cries. Why was she here? Where has she learned to fight like that?

When you grabbed her arm, she reacted as if you'd stabbed her. Maybe you had, a long time ago. Xialing was so little when you and Sgang left. You'd always regretted leaving her behind like that, but you had no other choice. You didn't know, in uour absence, she learned from watching. Your father, almost too eager to teach you and Shang how to kill, refused when it came to her. So, she taught herself. She became the best, and when the time came, she left too. A family of five was down to one. She hated you and Shang for leaving her, there was no hiding that, even now.

"Xialing, I'm sorry."

From Shadow to Light: Gagiid 

April White

From the website:  Gagiid—One Carried Away, is a Human Being whose spirit is too strong to die. After his canoe capsizes in tempestuous winter seas, he narrowly escapes drowning. Swimming ashore in a hypothermic state his skin takes on a deathly pallor while his body strengthens by transmogrifying his human form with Otter. In this state, Gagiid is Wild Man, a powerful Supernatural Being, who is equally at home in water and on land.

Dangerous and with a predilection for terrifying vulnerable souls, children are taught to be wary of him and not be tricked by his great powers of illusion and camouflage. Since contact with the Yaatz xaa.adee—The Iron People to the present, Gagiid continues to weave his way from shadow to light, exemplifying the Haidas’ intrinsic link to the natural world—the nucleus of their cultural past. He lurks under the moss on the ledge of a rock corridor on SGang Gwaay, Gwaii Haanas, ready to demonstrate, through frightening us, our profound connection to the land and sea and be watchful to preserve the precarious balance in which we live.

Indigenous residents and ecologists combat the harmful introduced species - Sitka deer - to safeguard the dense old-growth rainforest and biodiversity of Haida Gwaii

These are some scenes depicting the impact of a harmful introduced species - Sitka deer - on the incredible archipelago of Haida Gwaii, a mesmerizing land with substantial Indigenous cultural autonomy and characterized by dense rainforest, rich coastal seas, and kelp forest.

Sitka deer, a subspecies of mule deer, are endemic to the perhumid temperate rainforest of southeastern Alaska and the coastal rainforest on British Columbia’s mainland coast. Indigenous people on Haida are largely autonomous relative to the provincial government’s rule over most of mainland British Columbia; thus, traditional ecological knowledge is utilized in novel solutions to protecting old-growth forest from the excessive foraging/browsing of the Sitka deer.

[Many captions here are provided by Canadian journalist Leslie Anthony, who compiled some of these photos as part of her various published articles on land management in Haida Gwaii.]

The Single Story of the Totem Pole

Contemporary totem poles by the Haida tribe in British Columbia (”Haida Totem Poles”). These poles feature interlocking figures with the limbs flat and stylized, following the ancient two-dimensional design system known today as formline design (”The Enduring Power of Totem Poles”).

I suggest reading my post on the cultural uses of red cedar before reading this one :)

As I mentioned in my post about the cultural uses of red cedar trees by Indigenous peoples of the Northwest Coast, totem poles are an iconic form Native American art made out of red cedar. In popular culture, totem poles are often seen as representations of the culture of Native peoples from the Pacific Northwest. Although totem poles were indeed important to some of the Indigenous peoples of the area, they have a complicated history that is entangled with European colonialism.

I’m going to guess that most people reading this will have seen a totem pole before, so I won’t spend too much time describing them. Totem poles are large posts carved out of cedar tree trunks, and there were many purposes for these free-standing poles. Poles could be used as historical monuments, clan markers, territory markers, wealth indicators, or to mark special events (Moss, 2011). Totem poles (especially more contemporary ones) can also be decorated with brightly colored paints, especially totem poles that were carved with clan crest animals (”The Enduring Power of Totem Poles”).

Photo of Totem Poles at Sgaang Gwaii (Brodieguy, 2008)

Most Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest didn’t carve totem poles until well after European colonization of the region. The only tribes thought to craft free-standing totem poles before contact with European settlers are the Haida, Tlingit, and Tsimshian (Moss, 2011). The archaeological dating of totem poles is difficult because wood decays quickly, so the exact antiquity of the practice of totem pole creation is unknown (Moss, 2011). The Haida village of Sgaang Gwaii (also known as Ninstints) has a large collection of totem poles that are still located in their original positions in the village, where they function as mortuary poles for deceased chiefs (”The Enduring Power of Totem Poles”). The geographical region where the Haida lived pre-contact (the Queen Charlotte Islands) contained mega-forests of old-growth western red cedar trees, which allowed them to craft the large totem poles they are known for (”The Enduring Power of Totem Poles”). It was only in the 19th century that other tribes of the Northwest Coast began carving totem poles, and this practice was primarily driven by the demands of museums, private collectors, and tourism (which began the creation of miniature totem pole souvenirs).Very few totem poles remain in their original locations, and most of the poles in museums and art galleries are replicas of early totem poles (Moss, 2011).

The popular conceptions of the totem pole and its roles in the culture of Indigenous people of the Pacific Northwest highlight an important example of colonialism impacting the way natural resources were utilized by the people of the area. In my other posts, I have talked in detail about the complex relationships between people and their environments and how Indigenous people have manipulated their environments to their advantage. Totem poles serve as an example of the manipulation of Indigenous people by European settlers to manipulate their environment and utilize resources in new ways. In this post I’m not trying to say that totem poles are completely unimportant to most Indigenous people of the Northwest Coast because colonists economically pressured them into creating this type of art. Rather, I am aiming to highlight that the tradition of carving red cedar trees into totem poles should not be applied to all pre-contact peoples of the area, and that the management and use of resources by Indigenous people can have external influences outside of what is available to them in their environments.
