The community is built upon land that the Musqueam people have stood on for thousands of years.
It is imbued with their history and ancestry; and carries a great deal of meaning for the community.
Repost from @musqueamcapital:
“Did you know that for 9,000 years, the Musqueam people have inhabited this land?
Ancestry, environment and experience are connected along a continuum of time that is always alive in the culture of today. The Musqueam word for friend literally means family, and as a family, the Musqueam people raise each other up to form community.”
