Canadians from coast to coast know the spicy, resinous fragrance of cedar, traditionally known as a calming & grounding plant.
Cedar is nature’s purifier and boasts a distinctly resinous fragrance. Leaves are cleaned from the stems and separated into small pieces to be used in many ways (for making tea, bathing and ceremony). It represents grounding, maturity, purification and balance. Elders suggest walking with cedar in your shoes to walk in a good way down your path and it was one of the first gifts of natural healing shared with settlers upon their arrival (its high vitamin C content was a great antidote for scurvy). It is the western direction of the medicine wheel.

Sage is found abundantly in dry areas of North America and has an herbal, spicy scent. It is used in ceremony for smudging; as a means to cleanse negativity from ourselves and our spaces. Our ancestors also used different varieties of sage for medicinal purposes. It is the southern direction of the medicine wheel.

The comforting, haystack scent of sweetgrass walks us out into a fragrant meadow. This sweet aromatic essence is known to soothe & calm.
Sweetgrass is sometimes called the hair of Mother Earth and is considered a sacred gift. After the grass is harvested, it is carefully braided; the three sections representing mind, body, and spirit. By braiding it, we bring those aspects of our being together, care for and strengthen them. When we smudge with sweetgrass, we are taught that the smoke from that burning sweetgrass prepares us for prayer because the scent is pleasing to the Creator. It is the northern direction of the medicine wheel.

40 Million Salmon Can’t Be Wrong weaves together songs, stories, art images and science in an electrifying stage show that helps people understand how we can bring back our wild salmon to historical levels of abundance. Acclaimed singer/songwriters Holly Arntzen and Kevin Wright, are joined onstage by the Wilds band (Shawn Soucy-drums, Brian Newcombe-bass, Bill Sample-keyboards, Andreas Schuld-guitar), renowned storyteller and artist Roy Henry Vickers and ocean ecologist Russ George.
The collapse of wild salmon runs is closely tied to the collapse of ocean plankton pastures. This was profoundly demonstrated by the eruption of Kastochi volcano in 2008, its dusting of the ocean pastures with mineral-rich volcanic ash, and the return of 40 million sockeye to the Fraser River in 2010.
Authenticity Note: Some, but limited, Indigenous contribution, such as from artist Roy Henry Vickers.

Les chansons de la mer Salish CD ont été traduits en français par Marie Payette chutes et enregistrées par 400 étudiants à l'Ecole Pauline Johnson à West Vancouver .

The songs from the Salish Sea CD were translated into French by Marie Payette Falls and recorded by 400 students at Ecole Pauline Johnson in West Vancouver. The CD was launched at a triumphant concert with Holly and the Dream Band at the North Vancouver Centennial Theatre. Everyone was singing: “Continue de chanter la mer des Salish!” Additional support came from Canadian Parents for French.
Orcas, bears, salmon, snakes, bison, frogs, songbirds, turtles, cedar trees and many other organisms at risk inhabit these songs, which are performed by Holly and the Dream Band, along with 2800 students from nine schools in Victoria and Vancouver. Orca Baby was written in response to the question: How do you explain extinction to a baby?
Endangered Species points out that humans like to live in the same places as wildlife…which is why so many of them are at risk. Salmon Circle celebrates the ancient cycle of life that has sustained ecosystems in the Pacific Northwest for millennia. Landfill Blues is a raunchy anthem to recycling, reducing, refusing…and to the worms and wasps that do the dirty work of biological decomposition. Recycling a beverage container is an action within the power of a child that helps endangered species.
This CD includes 15 songs about the Salish Sea.
When listening or singing to this CD, think about the Salish Sea Marine Survival Project: a massive scientific undertaking to research why runs of Chinook, Coho and Steelhead have decreased to one-tenth of past peak levels over the past 20 years in the Salish Sea. The Project involves more than 150 scientists and technical staff from more than 40 federal and state agencies, First Nations, universities, industry and non-profit organizations from Canada and the United States. The coordination is being conducted by two non-profits: the Seattle-based Long Live The Kings and the Vancouver-based Pacific Salmon Foundation.
