The dwellings of the Northwest Coast Indians were rectilinear structures that were built of timber or planks and, except for those in northwestern California, were usually quite large, as the members of a corporate “house” typically lived together in one building. In the houses of the Wakashan province, huge cedar posts with side beams and ridgepoles constituted a permanent framework to which were attached wall planks and roof planks that could be taken down, loaded onto canoes, and transported from one site to another. more

Northwest Coast groups can be classified into four units or “provinces.” The northern province included speakers of Tlingit, Haida, Tsimshian, and the Tsimshian-influenced Haisla (northernmost Heiltsuq or Kwakiutl). The Wakashan province included all other Kwakiutl, the Bella Coola, and the Nuu-chah-nulth. The Coast Salish–Chinook province extended south to the central coast of Oregon and included the Makah, Chinook, Tillamook, Siuslaw, and others. The northwestern California province included the Athabaskan-speaking Tututni-Tolowa as well as the Karok, Yurok, Wiyot, and Hupa.

Since then, many sailboats and ships have successfully plied the Passage, though modern sailors still fall prey to the desolate elements. A handful of kayakers have attempted the journey and completed parts of the route in multi-year attempts, going over land and over ice, but no kayaker has made the journey in one single season and without portaging over land. here

THE EAST-WEST ROUTE will begin at the mouth of Pond Inlet in northern Baffin Bay, east of the town of Pond Inlet. The team will drive/fly from Austin, via Ottawa to Pond Inlet, then kayak out to to Baffin Bay, then turn around and head west, turning north into Navy Board Inlet to Lancaster Sound, where we'll turn west again until heading south into Prince Regent Sound. We'll cut through Bellot Strait to be the first kayakers on record to paddle the Strait, into Peel Sound, where we'll head south towards King William Island. Depending upon the sea ice, we may head east around the island, or with clean seas, will stay to the north and head directly across Victoria Strait to Cambridge Bay. From there, it's a straight shot west to Tuktoyaktuk, which lies about 100 miles outside the western boundary of the Passage. [links]

The Venetians maintained control over Crete until 1668, when the Ottoman Empire captured the island. Crete remained under Ottoman control until long after the liberation of the rest of Greece, gaining independence in 1897. It was its own nation for about 15 years, reuniting with Greece in 1912.

The eulachon or candlefish is a small anadromous (ascending rivers from the sea for breeding) ocean fish, Thaleichthys pacificus, a smelt found along the Pacific coast of North America from northern California to Alaska.

(The hot stones are laid carefully on the cedar boughs covering and protecting the inside of the canoe. The aim is to heat the water in the canoe, without any hotspots on the wood of the canoe itself, and to make sure that any sharp stones dropped in, or the smooth river stones which are usually used, which sometimes shatter on contact with the water, do not damage the inside surface.

(It would appear that this is not the first time this fire pit has been used. It has been carefully made, and tiled inside, and is ideal for the purpose - Don )

The common names of this fish have a somewhat confusing relationship. The name 'candlefish' derives from the fact that it is so fat during spawning, with up to 15% of total body weight in fat, that if caught, dried, and strung on a wick, it can be burned as a candle. This is the name most often used by early explorers. The name eulachon (occasionally seen as oolichan, oulachon, and uthlecan) is from the Chinookan language and the Chinook jargon based on that language.
