Around 9,000 years ago, while the Squamish Nation was settling in what’s now southwestern British Columbia, the world was going through some big changes. The last Ice Age had just ended, glaciers were retreating, and new ecosystems were popping up, making the area rich with resources. While early civilizations in the Middle East were starting to farm and domesticate animals, the Squamish thrived as hunter-gatherers and fishers, using the abundance of nature around them. They built longhouses and established trade networks with neighboring nations, creating a culture that’s endured for thousands of years. Crazy to think what was happening across the world while they were mastering the coast!
Lemmetellya!
