epidemic

Hatzic

Hatzic Lake, in the community of Hatzic, is named for First Nations people who had lived here for up to 9,000 years...unfortunately Europeans arrived in the late 19C, brought smallpox, and that epidemic killed the entire tribe

Not a proud legacy that is for sure. However, your shot shows the peaceful beauty of the site. V
