History and Legend of Squamish First Nation

Where the mountains meet the sea, Squamish is full of beautiful natural landscapes, and I learn oral history, legends, and place names in Sḵwx̱wú7mesh sníchim (Squamish traditional language) of the Coast Salish People. Hike with me up Slhaney overlooking The Chief and Howe Sound, and see indigenous pictograph art. Thanks to Roxy Lewis for teaching me a bit more about this special place.

I was briefly in Squamish last week, and I absolutely adored it. Not only was the scenery insane, the little town was so charming. Wonderful video!

Another stunner, Luke. I’ve almost got my wife talked into a road trip to BC.

At 2:44 on the bottom right of the frame is a pictograph of the Squatter man! Did Roxy explain any of the pictographs to you? Do some research on the "Plasma Squatter Man". It is a pictograph found throught the world depicted by many ancient peoples. Great video man! The Squamish know whats up!

When we let go of our western white European egos … stop talking about ourselves and listen to the indigenous peoples, we can finally get back to the path of truth and reconciliation. Most people are still arrogant and refuse to listen. Thank you for staring this and hope it reaches & teaches more 😊people.

May Life allow me to return, even if it is to spend a little more time there before the end of my life. May nature be preserved and not ruthlessly exploited nor plundered as it is done so often
