“We want to bring our people back home to that part of our territory,” says Khelsilem, a Squamish Nation councillor. For a time the area became a squatter’s camp, and was surrendered altogether by the Squamish nation in 1947. The Squamish Nation has waited more than a century for this. “The Squamish Nation kept pushing to explore the near-maximum the site could handle,” said Khelsilem on Twitter last month. Not all of the Squamish Nation has praised the project.
