Fresh Water Meets Sea Water
This is the Fraser River Delta just in front of Vancouver BC Canada where sea water meets fresh water. The river water from Fraser River, flows into the ocean water of the Strait of Georgia. Modern Science has discovered that in the places where two different bodies meet, there is a barrier between them. This barrier creates a noticeable line, as each water body has its own temperature, salinity, and density.

Quesnel, BC (No. 3)
Long before the arrival of prospectors during the Cariboo Gold Rush of 1862, the Southern Carrier (Dakelh) people lived off the land around Quesnel, occupying the area from the Bowron Lakes in the east to the upper Blackwater River and Dean River in the west. The Southern Carrier Nation were known among themselves as ‘Uda Ukelh’, meaning ‘people who travel by boat on water early in the morning’. The name "Quesnel" is derived from Jules Maurice Quesnel, who accompanied Simon Fraser on his journey to the Pacific Ocean. Quesnel came to be called 'Quesnelle Mouth' to distinguish it from Quesnel Forks, 97 kilometres (60 mi) up river. In 1870, it had been shortened to Quesnelle and by 1900, it was spelled the way it is now. Quesnel is located along the gold mining trail known as the Cariboo Wagon Road and supplied nearby Barkerville, the commercial centre of the Cariboo Gold Rush. It also marks one end of the Alexander MacKenzie Heritage Trail. Because of its location on the Fraser River, it was also an important landing for sternwheelers from 1862 to 1886 and then, from 1909 until 1921. The last sternwheeler on the upper Fraser was Quesnel's own namesake craft, and home town product, the Quesnel. Quesnel was incorporated in 1928.

An art installation at Willowbrook Mall in Langley that talked about the history of the Fraser River. I thought it was interesting because it does not include the Indigenous history of it (from these two plaques that I read) but rather the Western colonialism view.
A missed opportunity!
I also think that prior to this course, I would have thought very little of it. However, Michelle's presentation of her portfolio during the conferences touched heavily on the Indigenous history of the Fraser River and how important it was for the people living along it.
