Abstract
The intent of this poster is to be a teaching tool not only for Haisla Nation school children, but also for community members who may want to know more about the historical or present traditions of Haisla feasting ceremonies. This poster is also an artifact that can be revised as needed, as culture is always evolving. It is important to document how the Cimoca feast today. With the fast-changing times we find ourselves in, we will raise the contentious question, “are we now culturally bankrupt?”. Time is critical if we as a people are serious about reviving this integral ceremony of the people of Cimoca.
This poster is the winner of the Graduate Student Infographic Poster Award at Vancouver Island University's CREATE Conference in 2023.
