Salmonberry Time
Tem’elile - Salmonberry time
Chris Silver, Semá:th First Nation shares:
These are the first berries out and signal the beginning of six or seven months of berry picking time. The berries were eaten fresh or cooked and dried for winter. Ripe berries are the colour of fresh salmon and are ready at the same time as the salmon are coming up the Fraser River.
Here you will find lesson plans and resources in relation to this month.
