June 1-07 Salmonberry
The Salmonberry bush is a close relative of the raspberry. It is abundant on Malcolm Island and in the moist coastal forests of British Columbia. Salmonberries often form large thickets, and thrive in the open spaces and under stands of Alder
Salmonberries were and continue to be an important food for First Nations people. It is one of the various fruits used in pemmican, an early form of fruit leather or power bar consisting of dried fruit, chopped meats and rendered fat. It is said that the name came about because of their enjoyment of eating the berries with semi-dried salmon roe. On the other hand, this berry's orange colour also resembles the flesh of the Sockeye salmon.

A Rufus hummingbird found its way inside. I snapped some photos before gently coaxing it out- a much harder task than it seemed at first.

This is a backdrop from the old stage at the Finnish Organization Hall. The production looks as if it might have portrayed part of Sointula's history and its political and ideological foundations.
