August Jack (Khatsahlano, Xats'alanexw) (Born July 16, 1867 – June 5, 1971) [http://www.augustjack.com/squamish_hotels.html March 10, 2007] was an Indigenous/Aboriginal chief of the Sḵwxwú7mesh. He was born in the village of Xwayxway on the peninsula that is now Stanley Park, Vancouver. In his later years, he lived in multiple Sḵwxwú7mesh villages including Xwemelch'stn, Sta7mes, and, most notably, Senakw. He became famous for recording his people's oral history and working closely with many of Vancouver's first settlers. A neighborhood in Vancouver neighborhood, Kitsilano, adopted his name.
