Diana's and my visit to the third of the three Musqueam exhibits, this one at the Museum of Vancouver (for #1 and #2, see Feb 14 and March 10).
Here, the one large museum room has exhibits of artifacts on small display tables, dotted around. The power in the room comes from a continuous animated film on the long wall - the Musqueam story of a two-headed serpent that emerged out of the forest and created Musqueam Creek (I think). The serpent moves quickly. This sequence of stills (Diana's), with display tables in the foreground, catches some of its moments. A strong myth.

| The two-headed creature coming straight toward us, one head to left, one head to right. |
 |
| The two heads re-emerging for another pass by ... |
 |
| … and the serpent tail weaving a meandering creek ... |
 |
| … with trout lilies (dog-tooth violets) springing up along its shores. |
