Hi readers,
With the recent news of North Cowichan addresses gaining official recognition by Canada Post, we at the Discourse thought it a good time to share an article written by historian Kelly Black that delves into the colonial history of the name “Cowichan,” where it came from, and how colonial powers vaguely applied it to different landmarks and towns around the region.
Black provides insight into the power of a name and how it can change how we record, view and understand the landscape around us. Read more in the story linked below.
Also, I hope you enjoy my reporter’s notebook highlighting the story and people behind the Quw'utsun Stseelhtun Friendship Project. You may remember that I highlighted the project in a January newsletter, in which I shared a picture of the salmon puppet. For this article, I wanted to give you an in-depth look at the project's history and the future for “Salmy,” the Quw'utsun Salmon.
