It is a time when the people of the 12 tribes that make up the Squamish Nation come together to celebrate as a family.

And come together they did. On Aug. 27 nearly 1,200 people gathered at Xwmelch'sten Park (Capiiano Reserve) — elders, fam- ilies and children, honored guests from other nations.

They came to pay homage to their cultural past and to join in forging a plan for the future.

If you can compare it to any- thing, it would be to the some- what larger nation’s celebration held two months ago.

“This is really our Canada Day,’’ said Glen Newman, proudly escorting me around the grounds surrounding the Capilano Jonghouse where the event took place.

Another wants to become a teacher and a powwow dancer.

After two centuries of struggle, during which they had no conirol over their future, the power to shape a destiny has moved within their grasp.

Elder, Bob George, an honored guest from the Burrard band, congratulated the Squamish Na- tion on its achievements, and. praised those among them who,

“not only watched things happen, but made things happen.’

He spoke of the future, too. urging everyone to use the best from the past and the best from the present as tools to carve the image of the next century.
