Mod. 2/ Post 2 Squamish Atlas

Home

I have driven up to Squamish and Whistler multiple times and my kids always ask how to say the traditional names that are posted along Highway 99.  While we were searching through sites on pronunciation, we came across this site (actually linked in the SORCA from my previous post too!).  It shows you traditional names for various spots in the Squamish Nation and has an option for you to hear their pronunciations.

Moving forward, sites like this would be a vital educational source to help students recognize the lands that they are on have a history before when colonists came and gave it European names.  To view the actual content, you need to put in your email address.  As the information on the website is for personal use and not to be used for educational purposes without permission from Kwi Awt Stelmexw (KAS Cultural Society), I have given the link to where to sign in.
