Tla-o-qui-aht family dries their tears, celebrates life

Tofino

A drying of tears ceremony was held for the family of Tonia Frank at Tin Wis Resort on March 12. This ceremony marks the end of the public grief period of the family.

A dinner was held for those who gathered to witness.

After the dinner, a celebration of life was held for elders Dora Frank and her brother Jasper. Jasper survived a heart attack and Dora is now clear of the cancer she had been battling.  

There was dancing and well wishes and hopes for continued health and healing.

Here are some photos from the event.
