Native philosophy from a program in Bella Bella:

3. Be responsible for your experience (be accountable)
4. Ask for what you want.
5. Keep your agreements.
6. Strive to create value in all things.
The bridge over Ketchikan Creek. The Green house is "Dolly's House",
a historic site and brothel museum. A dozen people are fishing off the
bridge. A thousand salmon are lazily swimming under the bridge, just keeping
up with the current. Fishing here means bobbing your lure in the face of
a specific fish. Either it bites it or leaves. Then another fish fills
its spot.
Floating dock built on logs.

Salmon on the bridge sidewalk. Kids fish there all day, catch more
than their parents can use. Cody gave me a fish.
Too many cruise ships to fit at the dock. Passengers going to shore
in lifeboats.
Painting the name on the side of the cruise ship. Interesting scafffold.
Family crest painted on the eyebrows of the boat.

Peter, Roland, Mitchell and the others were extremely nice to me, gave
me and canoe a ride to the ferry on their "power skiff", helped me push
my canoe cart around and onto ferry. I hope they catch some fish. They're
laid up in Ketchikan with engine trouble. The season's almost over and
the price has dropped from 14 cents/lb to 5 cents. No way to make a living,
and some locals told them if they sell at that price they won't have many
friends here. So they're screwed no matter what happens. Today fortunately
Mitch got a $300 scuba job "diving the wheel" of a fishing boat that tangled
its net around the prop. He brought his scuba gear up with him.
Canoe and cart down in car deck of the ferry. The spars and gear all
fit inside. Easy to move around.

In Johnstone strait we saw some orcas just north of Robson Bight. When
we passed the cliff I called on my radio on Chan 77, had a nice chat with
Cheryl.
Talked to Doug on the radio "Warden One". He came alongside, we talked
over the rail. I felt like I should be throwing him microfilm or such
spy contraband.
Robson Bight.
Mount Mr. T.
God built a monument to the star of the tv show "the A team". Some
lumberjacks gave the mountain the facial hair to match.
