For this post, I decided to go to Jordan River. I have only ever been out to Sooke a handful of times in my life, so I was really interested to see what was past Sooke. <\/p>\n

Jordan River was way farther out than I was expecting. I initially tried to go to China Beach only to find out the day-use area was closed for the time being because of upgrades to the lower parking lot, so I turned around and went to Jordan River Regional Park. It was a really nice day out and I saw lots of people out surfing and camping.<\/p>\n

Curricular Connection<\/strong><\/p>\n

The curricular connection I was thinking of specifically for this post focus on grade 5 physical and health education in the BC Curriculum<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Describe the impacts of personal choices on health and well-being.<\/em><\/p>\n

Location<\/strong><\/p>\n

Diitiida<\/a> or Jordan River is within the territory of the Pacheedaht Nation between Sooke and Port Renfrew. Pacheedaht translates to \u201cPeople of the Sea Foam\u201d<\/a>. The Pacheedaht lived and moved based on the seasons, often near larger rivers as well as right by the ocean. The Pacheedaht have a strong connection with the ocean and significant component of their traditional practices includes whale hunting<\/a>. In contrast with several of the Coast Salish Nations mentioned in my previous posts, the Pacheedaht have historically spoken Nitinaht and reside within Nuu-chah-nulth<\/a> lands. I highly recommend reading their creation story on the Pacheedaht website here<\/a> as well as the Nation\u2019s plan for eco-tourism <\/a>for the area.<\/p>\n

Mood<\/strong> Before and After<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mood Chart.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My mood before going to Jordan River was sitting at around 2. It took slightly longer to increase because of how long the drive was and because I was mildly disappointed that I was unable to explore China Beach. I definitely cheered up after checking out the Jordan River area and left feeling at about a 4.<\/p>\n

Here are some additional photos I took:<\/p>\n
