Vancouver Island PWA Society acknowledges the territory of Esquimalt and Songhees Nations (their ancestral families consisting of the Teechamitsa, Kosampson, Swangwhung, Chilcowitch, Whyomilth, Chakonein, Kakyaakan, and Chewhaytsum). It is these families who had established villages and used the territory for hunting, fishing, berry picking, and ritual and cleansing sites prior to Captain Vancouvers arrival in June of 1792 and later James Douglas establishing a colony in 1849.
As Victoria is a large urban centre VPWAS also recognizes families with Kwakwaka’wakw, Nuu-chah-nulth and Metis Ancestry.
