Deer, Land, and Food Systems | Fallow Deer, Hunting, and Firearms Use & Policy on Mayne Island
Most of the conversation about deer on Mayne Island is happening without direct contact with the system itself.
This session closes that gap. Grounded in several years of continuous, land-based work—harvesting, processing, observing, and feeding people—this is a clear look at what is actually happening on the ground, and where current narratives fall short. We track & hunt herds, record their health (injuries, deformities, tick-load, overall condition, reproduction, diet, age etc.)

The Healing Place Foundation • Tsi-Tesakotitsén:tha
The Healing Place creates handmade drums, art, jewellery, and useful goods inspired by and made from the animals and lands they work with.
They specialize in handmade drums, from small hand drums and tom-toms to large pow-wow drums, using natural hides from elk, bison, and other animals. Drums are available raw or individually painted, and they also create commissioned pieces.
Their other work reflects a commitment to using the whole animal. Depending on what is available, you'll find pieces made from fallow deer, elk, bison, bear, and other animals, including rattles, necklaces and malas, skull and antler wall pieces, hides and hide work, bones, and other natural materials incorporated into artwork and functional pieces.
They also make their own fallow tallow skincare, along with original paintings and artwork on wood, jewellery, t-shirts, and an ever-changing collection of one-of-a-kind pieces.
Much of what they make is unique because they work with the materials available to them rather than mass-producing a fixed catalogue. If you're looking for a drum, a particular piece, or would like to discuss a commission, please get in touch.
