This assignment had me learning a new video altering system which I silently was cursing Roxane for initially 🙂 I used CapCut on the advice of one of my peers and it turned out to work okay for me after a learning curve. Once I realized how to overlay my audio from the original that I did on site, it came together pretty well. It’s always great when we can rely on each other as Teacher Candidates and help where we can.
The Tsútswecw Provincial Park has been a very important area for my family for over a century. My great grandparents homesteaded on this land back at the turn of the 20th century and the remains of their house (parts of the foundation) are still existing in the field between the park and the main road. My grandfather was raised in this area and as an adult, he horse logged in it too with his half brother. I was devastated to see the forest fires happen in the North Shuswap so with trepidation, I was afraid to go out there and see what was left. I was overjoyed that our family bench within the park had survived the fire and that it was still standing.
I’m so happy that this area has been transformed and they have added all of the Indigenous things like art pieces, historical plaques, structures, and information. It makes people aware of how important this area was to the Secwépemc People and early settlers but also the Sockeye salmon for spawning. By touring the park and its new additions of Secwépemc culture, I learned a huge amount that I did not know before. This area was always a great field trip venue to bring students to see the big salmon runs. Now, not only do they get to see the salmon, they also get to learn more about the Secwépemc culture and what this area meant to them throughout history.
