A special mention and thank you to the Sweetgrass Foundation of Atlanta for fully funding three Haisla students to partake in studies with Elders and Chiefs in their ancestral territory. Another special thank you to the Royal BC Museum Living Landscapes program for providing funding that facilitated field research to document the unique ecology and cultural history of the Kitlope. We would also like to thank those involved in the unique three-way partnership, to Alcan for providing funding and organizing the information tours of the Kemano Power House, to Northwest Community College for organizing and supporting the program, and to the Na Na Kila Institute and the Haisla Watchpeople for coordinating the field trip and providing a safe, positive, and inspiring experience. Most importantly, a special thank you to the Haisla and Henaaksiala people for sharing their rich and sophisticated cultural history, traditional economy and ecological knowledge, in their ancestral territory, in this unique place, a gift to all of humanity.
