Mamalilaculla


This is one of the books I read this summer while exploring Canada's Pacific coast: A Curve in Time by M. Wylie Blanchet.
A woman/mother of 5 wrote about her summers exploring the same coast with her children.

One chapter recounts visiting the abandoned First Nation's village Mamalilaculla on Village Island. 

Ron and I visited the island and had a most enjoyable time exploring the remains of the village.
 

A fallen totem pole supports a microcosm of new life.

There is something so poignant about an abandoned settlement, left to return to nature...
