Anthony Island Experience

  I had the opportunity to work with 4 people from Parks Canada, working on the Village Site at Sgaang Gwaii, on Anthony Island in Haida Gwaii in the National Park Reserve. We had the task of cleaning up around the totem poles and the old big houses on this site. A really cool opportunity as these totems are classified as a World Heritage Site, designated by UNESCO. The mornings I spent here were set with perfect light as the sun rose from the east. I took a hundred or more photos and relished in the idea that I was cleaning up a site that had been around more than 100 years. Very difficult to get to, only accessible by boat or floatplane in the South end of Haida Gwaii.
