View of the Moricetown bridge connecting the highway and Telkwa High Road. Four unidentified fishermen, one holding a fish he just gaffed at the Moricetown Falls (Widzin Kwah Canyon).
This was one of 4 smokehouses located on what is now Highway 16 (where a small handicraft shop is now [1995]). The houses came down during the 50's when the highway was constructed. The handicraft store was built in 1963. Note at left, the leaf covered construction. The fresh fish were placed on this and covered with leaves to keep them from drying out too much by the sun. At left front the fish are hung to dry. Smokehouse - there were four clans: 1 Frog, 2 Grizzly, 3 Wolf, 4 Eagle.
