A fish (Oolichan) gathering song of Spring from British Columbia, originally from River's Inlet. The song was taught to Rainbow Harmony Choir from a woman who learned it from respected Elders she knew; the 'soundscape' is the addition of Johanna, RHC's director. (We add a humming, the sound of the wind, birds, frogs....it's really quite pretty.) Accompanied by a somewhat random selection of photographs from British Columbia in the spring.
