Language & Culture Resources
This page is intended for sharing language and culture resources with Members. This includes Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Sníchim (Squamish language), history, culture, and traditional knowledge. The resources include online learning opportunities and tools, such as viewing recordings of past sessions or events.
We will continue to add more resources to this page as they become available.
