Inspire Jericho Talks: Celebrating MST Culture at Jericho Lands

How do we return Indigenous culture to the lands it came from? How do we integrate traditional ways of being in a contemporary context? How can Indigenous design principles help shape the future of our city and region?

Come and hear from Cultural Liaisons from the xʷməθkʷəy᾽əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱ wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations as they share how stories, ideas, wisdom and aspirations from their knowledge keepers, elders and communities set the foundation for planning and design of the ʔəy̓alməxw/Iy̓álmexw/Jericho Lands.

The Cultural Liaisons

• Charleen Grant, xʷməθkʷəy᾽əm (Musqueam)
• Sxelaltenaat-Adrienne Charlie and Ts’kanchtn-Calvin Charlie-Dawson, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish)
• Whonoak-Dennis Thomas and William George Thomas, səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh)
