Kopas Store in Bella Coola

When travelling to the Bella Coola Valley I always make sure and stop at Kopas Store. They have this amazing selection of BC books, outstanding native jewelery, masks, carvings and artwork, just to name a few.

Cliff Kopas, originally from Alberta, opened Kopas' Store in 1937. He "discovered" the Bella Coola Valley when he and his bride took a four-month horseback trek on the Alexander Mackenzie Heritage Trail/Nuxalk-Carrier Grease Trail. After reading the book about their trip from Calgary to Alberta (which was their honeymoon) my last visit to the store was even more interesting.
