Wonderful discussion and I love the illustrations.

Long story short-the people came back to more or less live in the destroyed villages areas because let's face it, the ocean here is the giver of life and source of so very much for the indigenous peoples. So once it was felt that the waters were not coming back and the ground was not going to shake again, people came down and began the rebuild. I am not sure why anyone would think otherwise-in so many cases we have continued to rebuild right on top of catastrophes, like London burning or San Franciso and their quake. This is a plentiful place to live and the First Nations up and down the coast are tied to the seas, not the mountains.

We are the same-our favourite place to vacation in the island is firmly within a tsunami zone. (Tofino) In fact the beach we are staying at next month has tsunami sirens...

For those who are terrified of the thought of earthquakes, there is the prairies and the mountains. There are also landslides and tornados, hurricanes on the east coast, etc. Let's face it, nothing is a sure bet when it comes to natural disasters.

She takes a lot of First Nations study doing her anthropology degree, she will enjoy this.
