The First Nations of the Sunshine Coast
 Source: http://myweb.facstaff.wwu.edu/stefan/SalishSea.htm | The traditional territories of the shíshálh (Sechelt) Nation and the Skwxwu7mesh Uxwumixw (Squamish Nation) encompass the "lower" Sunshine Coast of British Columbia. To the Northwest is Jervis Inlet, a boundary with the Kla ah men (Sliammon) Nation of the “upper” Sunshine Coast. The land, the waters, and the people have an unbroken history that reaches into time immemorial. In our places of learning, the Salish First Nations of the Sunshine Coast, their languages, and their culture are acknowledged with respect.
