About this listen
"If you don't know what shellfish gardens are, you're not alone. There's a helpline you can call." This one's all about clams! Clam gardens are an ancient technology, built and maintained by Indigenous peoples all along the Pacific Northwest Coast. Three young men in Kake are seeking to learn about and revitalize the practice.
For very cool images, visit the Clam Garden Network at clamgarden.com. The site also has great information about the Haida creation story which Mona references in this episode. Be sure to look up 'The Raven and the First Men', a beloved sculpture by renowned Haida artist Bill Reid which portrays that moment of creation.
