My hosts were Ian and Karen McAllister. They started Raincoast Conservation Society and live in Bella Bella.

This is Ian wearing a wolf pelt. There is a tradition among the Heilstuk of wearing animal pelts during certain songs and dances. This wolf had been killed by a train in Alberta. It was skinned and given as a gift to the Heiltsuk.
