The Stories That Brought You Here
Society & Culture
This series is dedicated to learning about the unique and rich history of the W̱SÁNEĆ Saltwater People and their traditional connection to their Salish Sea Homeland including S,DÁYES (South Pender Island).
Eric Pelkey, the Hereditary Chief of Tsawout of the W̱SÁNEĆ Nation, will speak about his family's reef net fishery, which existed near Bedwell Harbour on S,DÁYES. He will provide some ancient stories and history of S,DÁYES and explain why that land is deeply important to the W̱SÁNEĆ people. As well, he will share stories as told to him by family members who witnessed a sea monster, that is believed to have once lived in the Pender Canal. That, and so much more.
This interview has been made possible with funding from: the Capital Regional District, the Pender Island Community Resource Centre, the W̱SÁNEĆ Leadership Council/W̱SÁNEĆ School Board, the Pender Islands Museum, and the South Pender Historical Society.
