Paint Pots, Kootenay National Park, British Columbia, Canada

The Kootenay Paint Pots have been worshipped by the First Nations natives for a very long time.

Natives would travel hundreds of miles to gather here for ceremonies & to make the magical paints to adorn warriors, tents and sacred objects.

This area was devastated by commercial paint pigment mining in the late 1800's.
The Canadian Government created Kootenay National Park to protect this area and the surrounding wilderness.
