The Haïda tribe: renewing the pact with nature | SLICE

The Haïda, the Salmon People, lives on islands off the northwestern coast of Canada.
Every summer, thousands of salmon used to come to the shores of these windy and stormy islands. But for a few years now, fewer and fewer of them have crossed the Pacific Ocean. What will happen if they are no more salmon, how will the Haïda be reincarnated?
The legend has it that when a Haïda man dies, he becomes a salmon, and when a salmon dies, he is reborn as a man… Keurthants must go up the river and renew the alliance of his people with the salmon.
Documentary: " Land of legends - The Salmon People "
Direction: Jean-Michel Corillion

I love seeing human beings being themselves living life their way

[@WILD__THINGS]

Bringing themselves where?

I fantasized about living in the forest since I was little. But to your point I ask, aren't we all being ourselves, living lives our way? Even if that way is in conflict with our true nature and out of harmony with the natural world?

[@cyndybutler7330]

@@mountainair I spent a lot of time in the woods but once had a scary primitive camping trip , still love the forest but I’m more aware now

An absolutely EXCELLENT documentary! Having lived for years in Alaska, as well as traveled the ALCAN many times, I have a large collection of Haida artwork and items, including a purse, dishes and quilt patterns of their many totem animals. Beautiful artwork. Beautiful people. Thank you for sharing.

🙏 👍👏🏼SLICE for so many amazing documentary stories. Places where we are unable or dare to go and reach . 💖✅ this culture. Especially they are fishermen (salmon) , and not hunters !

I lived on the Queen Charlette Islands in 1976 in a town called Sandspit. Absolutely beautiful.

[@Scraggledust]

Loved it! These stories, cultures, and traditions should be shared in our schools. All the history of the indigenous Americans should be as main a part of our education, as our immigration and slavery history if not more. Tons of lost knowledge

[@chopperwitz]

Thank you for sharing your history. We can all learn from you.

[@jaydeshantel5331]

If you are ever fortunate to visit canadia, I highly recommend The Vancouver Museum. They have an extensive collection of Haida artifacts as well as several totems.

Thanks for deleting my comment. As if it was hurting you and your giant channel. You only served to prove what I said correct.

[@Danimal-76]

They are modern just like everybody, this is scripted😂😅

[@togbeosagyefo8705]

Fake story .. pure acting

[@TahoeJones]

The ignorant superstitious cultures in the past are for some reason revered. Always a hoot though!
