Senakw

Senakw

Snauq (Squamish "Senakw"; also written Snawk, Snawq, Sneawq, or Snawkw) is a village site of the Indigenous Squamish, located near what is now known the Kitsilano neighbourhood of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The village site was home for many Squamish, but after more colonization began in the Vancouver area, the inhabitants were forced to re-locate to nearby villages. This village was also the home of August Jack Khatsahlano, a prominent chief (or "siyam") of the Squamish and a notable historian in Vancouver on local Indigenous history.

History

After the Indian Act was passed in 1867, and with the Joint Indian Reserve Commission, a reserve was ploted out for the native peoples living at this location. [Hogben, David (August 29, 2002) "The Vancouver Sun, [http://www.squamish.net/files/Images/media_centre/Kitsilano_land_belongs_to_natives_appeal_judges_agree.jpgKitsilano land belongs to natives, appeal judges agree"] . pA2] Both in 1886 and 1902, portions of the reserve were confiscated by the federal government, until the families were forced to relocate. Many families were placed on a barge then were toed to other communities in the Burrard Inlet. In 2001, a settlement was agreed between the courts and the Squamish Nation for the return of convert|11.7|acre|m2 of land, coming from the land possessed by the government. [Lancaster, Deanna. (September 1, 2002) The North Shore News, [http://www.squamish.net/files/Images/media_centre/Squamish_Nation_wins_Kits_battle_2.jpgNatives accepting 92.5 million from Feds] . p10] This convert|11.7|acre|m2 in reserve lands, is located near Vanier Park, underneath Burrard Street Bridge.
