/ Feasting Project

Angie Joe may live many kilometres from Anacla in the tiny community of Santa. but that doesn't stop the Huu- ay -aht elder from passing on her knowledge about et traditional foods. Between July 20 and 23. ,a Joe was one of several elders who rook part in the Anacla Feasting project. Along with members of the Huu- ay -aht Youth Program and the Hu- a -thluk o team, the elders spent four days exploring ways to harvest and prepare Nuu- chah -nutth foods. "My favourite is probably half-smoked fish," said Joe on the first day. "I like beat it freshly prepared or canned." To begin the week, teens from the Huu- ay-aht Youth Program

prepared lunch for Joe and the other participants. They followed the 1 meal by asking questions about traditional foods. "It's really great to see them interested in what we know. We don't do this kind of thing very often." Joe said. The second day, more youth joined the group to walk the east side of Pachena Bay in search of haaidituup (chitons). Huu- ay-aht member Stella Pa grants remove hot coals from the cooking pit Peters led the walk, showing everyone where to look and how to pry the to get the hot rocks ready for corking. creatures off the rocks using flat butter knives. "My sister boils them for ten minutes, but some elders like to eat them fresh;" she said. Although dense seaweed made the haa}iituup difficult to find, the group came home with a dozen specimens. along with a small hag full f of mussels, which they gave to the elders. "This is the first time I've harvested haaÿistuup ;'said one of the participants. ai: fi On the third day, Joe talked about medicinal plants and showed T4

some members of the group how- to harvest seagrass for basket - making. "Our people used seagrass baskets for gathering some berries;' said Joe. "They would hang the basket around their neck by a rope so they could pick hands -free. They also used them for picking clams and for carrying other shellfish." The week ended with a community pit cook and salmon feast to welcome paddlers returning from the Tribal Loe Journeys. Volunteers from the community helped gather e v ferns and salet and loaded the pit with root vegetables for

the final celebration. Judy Johnson and Gabe Williams p- - h showed an audience of rapt youth how to fillet salmon n i , o and most lanai the fire on cedar sticks. After a full day's work, the meal Freshly harvested haayintnnp. was delicious. -The greatest o 4 e: part about growing ;j 0, . up eating traditional Î .' foals was that we / worked together as k a team to feed our L family," Joe said. "It never seemed like f work, because it was just what we did." The Anada Feasting Project was I jointly developed by i tei_--.14-4ei Uu- a -thluk and the rs Huu -ay -alit Youth J Program.
