Stop #10 Aug.2-4
Pulled out of Hyder, Alaska and started back down the road that we came up on four days earlier. Stopped at Bear Glacier again to ake a few more pictures, picked some dried flowers along side the road, they look like cotton. We had stopped in the Indian town of Kitwancool, took some pictures of totem poles, ate lunch and then continued down the road. We stopped for the next few days in Kitwanga, another Indian town, toward evening we went to Kitwanga Fort National Historic Site, totem poles and Saint Paul's Anglican Church to take more pictures.
We carpooled to 'Ksan Indian Village & Museum, we were all divided into two groups, a 'Ksan Indian guide took us into Froghouse of the Stone age building, which housed artifacts from the beginning of their heritage. Next we went into the Wolf House or Feast House, where they food was prepared, supplies stored and meals served. Then into Fireweed House, which is were they stored and made their costumes. Then into a building where they carve wooden masks and other items, watched some of indians working on masks. After leaving the museum, we drove into the town of Hazelton for lunch, the restaurant we were going to was closed, the other restaurant was full with other caravanners, so we ended up at a coffee shop, great sandwiches. Then off to the town of Kispiox to see more totem poles, they are all different and tell a story of generations, there are over 50 totem poles in the area
