Sips and Grub | The Picoso at Gallo Blanco Café
My quest this week was to find the holy grail of summer drinks, the Picoso, a muddled highball concoction of tequila, pineapple, fiery jalapeño and citrus.
Fifth ‘Movie Monday’ At Heard Museum This Monday
On Monday, June 29, the Heard Museum will be holding another Movie Mondays event.
They will be showing a 28-minute film called If Weather Permits at 1:30pm. Elisapie Isaac, a young, city-based Inuit filmmaker returns to her roots, the village of Kangirsujuaq in Nunavik. Here, she ponders the relationship between the Inuit past and the future in today’s world. In interviews with her extraordinary grandfather and with young people of the community, she finds more questions than answers. To bridge the growing gap between the young and the old, she lets Naalak, an elder, and Danny, a young policeman from Kangirsujuaq, tell us what they think. Isaac also speaks to her grandfather, now dead, and confides in him her hopes and fears.
Fourth ‘Movie Monday’ At Heard Museum This Monday
It’s almost Monday and that means another Movie Mondays event at the Heard Museum.
On Monday, June 22 at 1:30pm, the museum will be showing Oil on Ice, a 90-minute vivid, compelling and comprehensive documentary connecting the fate of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to decisions America makes about energy policy, transportation choices, and other seemingly unrelated matters. Caught in the balance are the culture and livelihood of the Gwich’in people and the migratory wildlife in this fragile ecosystem.
Third ‘Movie Monday’ At Heard Museum This Monday
Movie Mondays continues at the Heard Museum on Monday, June 15 at 1:30pm with a 58-minute film, Teachings of the Tree People: The Work of Bruce Miller.
The 2006 film tells of the life of nationally acclaimed artist and Skokomish tribal leader Gerald Bruce Miller, who interpreted the sacred teachings of the natural world to anyone who wanted to learn.
Second ‘Movie Monday’ At Heard Museum This Monday
Head over to the Heard Museum on Monday, June 8 at 1:30pm for the second Movie Mondays event of the summer.
The museum is showing a 52-minute film called The Salmon Forest. On Canada’s Pacific coast, winding from the north end of Vancouver Island to the Alaskan border, is more than 400 kilometers of forested inlets and islands. This is the largest tract of intact temperate rainforest on Earth. Here, millions of spawning salmon that support dense concentrations of forest life, including grizzly bears, black bears, bald eagles, seals, otters, gulls and the Gitga’at First Nation, return every year. Bathed in mist and rain year-round, this is one of the most biologically diverse and lush places on the planet.
First ‘Movie Monday’ At Heard Museum This Monday
Movie Mondays are back to the Heard Museum this summer by popular demand.
The first movie, Totem: The Return of the G’psgolox Pole, will show on June 1 at 1:30pm. In 1929, a 9-meter-high totem pole was stolen from the Haisla people’s village in northwestern British Columbia. The totem pole was discovered in 1991 in Stockholm, Sweden. The 70-minute film, released in 2003, follows the journey of the Haisla to reclaim their traditional mortuary pole.
