In the summer of 2007 I went to Northern British Columbia in Canada to take part in a volunteer project with First Nation people. The First Nation people of the Heitsuk tribe are almost completely isolated from Western society and can only be reached by boat. As one of eight international volunteers I was able to experience life the Heitsuk way with no electricity or modern comforts. In the community a summer camp was being run for Heitsuk children, many of whom had been abused in Canadian society and were forced to live in poor areas of Vancouver and other large urban areas in British Columbia. The summer camp allowed these children to return to their roots and learn how their ancestors, and indeed brothers and sisters lived in harmony with nature. This submission seeks to explore the way such a remote society lives hand in hand with nature. The Heitsuk tribe's social world is, in many respects, the natural world. The community lives alongside grizzly bears, wolves and eagles to mention a few, most of these were seen on a daily basis. Through centuries of living with these animals the remote society has developed ways of living peacefully with them, as the images depict. Heitsuk life is very simple and the only transportation is by canoe or foot. Some members of the community go fishing everyday for salmon which feeds the whole tribe. A Heitsuk ritual is also depicted in the images; that of commemorating the death of an elder with the erection of a totem pole in the forest. The pole was blessed by the chief and placed in the earth where it was to be at one with nature. The whole community came together for this poignant ceremony and it epitomised the way in which the social world of the Heitsuk is at one with the natural world.
