From war to civilisation...

Don and I went to day to to the War Museum. I was amused that the signs pointing the war to it simply say WAR with an arrow.
Then we went to the Museum of Civilization and wandered exhibits of the Tlingit and Nisga'a cultures, where we saw information about the oolichan - a kind of smelt which was the basis of the Nisga'a economy, and it appears (from the Wikipedia entry) that the word is cognate with "hooligan". Who'd have guessed?
And because we could - we saw Star Trek on the big screen at the IMAX theatre. Way cool.
