Spoken Treasures – The history of Gibsons and the Sunshine Coast through Indigenous eyes
Saturday, September 4th, 2021
4:00 pm - 5:30 PM
Armours Beach
Gibsons, BC.

Type of Program:  Walking Tour

We continue our series connecting us to the traditional people, lands, history, and foods of the shíshálh and Squamish Nations. Our guide will walk us through lower Gibsons and the stories of what it once was... Hear indigenous oral history, traditions, and stories of our ancestors and the Salish Sea, and the use of local land and sea in traditional food.

Instructor: Candace Campo
       
Candace, ancestral name xets’emits’a (to always be there), is a Shíshálh (Sechelt) member born and raised on the Sunshine Coast, British Columbia, Canada.  Today, Candace and her family live in the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh community in the village of Xwemelch’stn in West Vancouver.  Candace started her company Talaysay Tours in 2002 and provides indigenous, cultural and outdoor experiences and events to international¬¬¬ and local guests, community organizations, corporations and schools.  Trained as an anthropologist and teacher, sharing outdoor education and culture was made possible by growing up on the land and being taught the stories and history of her people by her parents and elders in the community.  Indigenous, Shíshálh llanguage and cultural revitalization is at the height of Candace’s life work.  She enjoys the independence of  operating her business while making educational, land-based learning films and digital stories.  Her current project includes editing a novel in the hopes to make it into a feature film one day.
