Skwix qas te Téméxw (literally name and place)
This website represents the true knowledge and history of Sq'éwlets people. The attribution label literally means ‘name’ and ‘place’ in our language, skwix qas te Téméxw. We ask everyone that visits this website to attribute our knowledge and histories to us, the Sq'éwlets people, a tribe of Stό:lō. Our history has not always been respected or told correctly. Here we tell our own story in our own words. We are both holders and caretakers of our own lands, resources, and histories. It is the responsibility of our families and communities as Stό:lō people to take care of these things in a respectful way. Please feel free to contact us with further questions about attribution.
