Spakwus Slolem, translated “Eagle Song Dancers,” is comprised of members of the Squamish Nation. Geographically located in what is called the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, the Squamish Nation’s traditional territory is the Howe Sound, in the Vancouver to Whistler area. The Squamish have lived and utilized this area for over 10,000 years, its history tracing back to the Great Flood and the Ice Age.
The Squamish are a Coastal people, people of the cedar longhouses, of the great sea-going canoes and of the racing war canoes; they are People of the Salmon.
Spakwus Slolem presentations bring out “Chiax,” the protocol and laws of the Squamish canoe culture and longhouses. Some of the Squamish Elders today still have memories of early years, travelling across the waters in great canoes to visit family in distant lands and exercising Chiax. Spakwus Slolem presents a glimpse into this culture through singing, drumming and dance.
