Working together to bring W̱SÁNEĆ culture back to Mayne Island

Did you know that when you drive from the ferry terminal on Mayne Island, into its village centre, you're driving past reserve land held by the Tsartlip First Nation? You might not. Because of colonization there have been very few signs of the W̱SÁNEĆ people's long history on the island, even though it's part of their unceded territory. But that's changing. In this episode, host Kathryn Marlow meets a group of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people working together to put W̱SÁNEĆ culture back on the island. The project is called “Walking Forward with the Past” and has a list of upcoming events on its website.
