Since we can’t go on field trips, we are doing the best we can to ‘experience’ the river.\u00a0 \u00a0In addition to learning about the river, we are learning that indigenous knowledge and history are traditionally passed down through oral history and collective memory.\u00a0 We have decided to parallel that tradition by telling stories to learn about the Fraser River.\u00a0 A short summary of those stories is being attached to their ‘large’ Fraser River maps. (see photo April 1st post)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our first location was the headwaters of the Fraser River at Mount Robson in the Rockies.\u00a0 Our first story was of Fin Donnelly swimming the entire length of the Fraser River from Mount Robson out to the Salish Sea.\u00a0 He did this not once, but twice.\u00a0 His purpose was to raise awareness of this important resource in our backyard.<\/p>\n
