Yetwán is a beautiful berry that heavily resembles a raspberry. This plant will grow in darker areas of the rainforest, usually under tall trees such as the douglas fir and red cedar. Their leaves and flowers begin to bloom in the spring months (right now!), and the berries will begin to grow from these delicate leaflets in late May or early June. Keep an eye out on your walks for the beautiful pink of the salmonberry flower! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230c7f6a3794c3b40156712/d3df4128-8813-43ec-bbe7-0eb8715b9db1/1000053523.jpg Blog - Speaking on our Salmonberry - What’s Unique about our Yetwánáy? Yetwánáy is one of our tallest native plants in BC. They can grow up to 13 feet in height! Though the berry resembles raspberries, their colours can span from yellow, orange, red and even purple! The way to figure out if it is Yetwánáy or raspberries is through the bark or stems. Yetwánáy bark is brown, and flaky to the touch. Watch out for those thorns, though! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230c7f6a3794c3b40156712/b75e1a9c-51ff-467f-aa84-a8ec06586853/1000053524.jpg Blog - Speaking on our Salmonberry - Songs of the Salmonberry Bird A story that the Squamish people would share with their children was the story of the Salmonberry Bird, or the Swainsons Thrush. The Salmonberry Bird invited Raven over one day, and called out her children. She gave her children their woven red cedar baskets and began to sing to her children. As she sang to them, the baskets filled to the brim with berries, and to the Raven she gave them. Raven rushed the Salmonberry Bird to his home despite her hesitance, grabbed his children, and attempted to sing; though no berries ever filled their baskets. This was a short, sweet story to teach the children about our Swainson's Thrush. It is a small, brown bird that will regularly eat the berries off of our Yetwánáy. It is said that her song is what sweetens the berries. If you see one, and especially if you hear one, look out for any Salmonberries around you, as those will be the sweetest! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230c7f6a3794c3b40156712/df749377-0cf2-4f14-b2df-3446297a0b2d/1000053526.jpg Blog - Speaking on our Salmonberry - Our Relationship with Our Berry Relative Yetwánáy was and is a very important piece of flora in the BC area. This berry wasn’t ideal for preserving and was instead used commonly as a snack while foraging for more preservable fruit. However, the berries weren’t the only tasty part, as the shoots under the bark make for a fantastic snack called ‘Saski.’ The leaves, berries and flowers make for a delicious tea that was also traditionally used for treating anemia and easing labour pains! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230c7f6a3794c3b40156712/5d593770-dd35-4608-88db-7b0b56b35b9d/1000053331.jpg Blog - Speaking on our Salmonberry - About the Author Jayden Aubichon is a Cultural Ambassador with Talaysay Tours.

This is the month of March. It is a sacred time of the year to honour the return of each spawning herring and to welcome them back to hospitable shores. Whispers of anticipation are carried on every tidal exchange as winter softens bringing more sunlight with each passing day. It’s time to prepare for a great feast! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230c7f6a3794c3b40156712/9d891772-332d-4d7d-9a0c-35e829f4cbf0/IMG_2375.jpg Blog -  Tem lhawt’: Time to Feast  - A Potlatch Hosted by Our Non-Human Relatives This particular type of potlatch, however, will be catered by our non-human relatives, the iconic Pacific herring. Some guests will travel hundreds of kilometers to attend this annual celebration as many Indigenous peoples have done throughout the centuries. Whales, seabirds, wolves, humans and many more, coming together to share in the decadence of herring and their roe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230c7f6a3794c3b40156712/c3ad6456-e888-46ee-acbc-6f590e569dff/IMG_2377.jpg Blog -  Tem lhawt’: Time to Feast  - Pacific Herring Roe Close view of roe clustered on shoreline rock. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230c7f6a3794c3b40156712/4c3f3864-c881-47ec-816f-158587369d01/IMG_2388.jpg Blog -  Tem lhawt’: Time to Feast  - The Gift Economy of Reciprocity I think of the bounty of this spawning event as part of the gift economy, collectively practiced by countless generations of species thriving together in reciprocal relationships. I imagine days, precontact, where Indigenous peoples would bring gifts of ḵwáýtsay, or western hemlock branches to the shore in anticipation of the return of the spawning herring - a loving act of reciprocity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230c7f6a3794c3b40156712/2ce9274c-3bde-421b-a0e8-59245ce73626/IMG_2380.jpg Blog -  Tem lhawt’: Time to Feast  - Kelp as Anchors Herring roe layered on kelp during the early spring spawn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230c7f6a3794c3b40156712/a98dbe17-019d-407f-b717-ab410eacdcfb/IMG_2395+%281%29.jpg Blog -  Tem lhawt’: Time to Feast  - Ḵwáýtsay: A Welcoming Place for New Life The soft, flat needles of ḵwáýtsay are a welcome site for spawning herring, providing shade, shelter and more surface area along the shoreline for eggs to adhere. This offering helps promote robust herring populations year after year and facilitates the creation of a delicacy Coast Salish peoples have enjoyed for centuries. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230c7f6a3794c3b40156712/d7fd8ea6-c638-446a-891a-4c6181ca385f/IMG_2410.jpg Blog -  Tem lhawt’: Time to Feast  - A Nutrient-Rich Coastal Delicacy Herring roe is an exceptionally rich source of Omega-3 fatty acids that support brain and heart health. This combination of herring roe coated ḵwáýtsay needles which are rich in vitamin C and citrus flavour along with the subtle pop and crunch makes for a delightfully nutritious sensory experience - a welcome treat after a season of eating mostly cured foods. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230c7f6a3794c3b40156712/5f2c6572-82d1-4e1c-abcd-6a3ce227a900/IMG_2413.jpg Blog -  Tem lhawt’: Time to Feast  - Roe-Coated Seaweed Strands of roe-coated seaweed washed onto the sand. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230c7f6a3794c3b40156712/1b299b02-42aa-4dae-af07-6a77bf250f21/IMG_2414.jpg Blog -  Tem lhawt’: Time to Feast  - How Herring Sustain the Whole Ecosystem This very modest offering supports more than just the Pacific herring themselves. It bolsters the abundance of the entire ecosystem. In a similar way that salmon feed our forests, so too do Pacific herring, cycling vital nitrogen from the sea to land. Emergent herring also become one of the first available food sources for many species of salmon smolt as they begin their transition from freshwater to a marine environment. Beneficial effects can be seen from soil microbes to apex predators of our coastal western hemlock zone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230c7f6a3794c3b40156712/b26a47d4-a247-4f26-8bb1-77787301e162/433bae95-b39a-4ca8-9383-2b33cfe3ffe1.jpg Blog -  Tem lhawt’: Time to Feast  - Among the Shoreline Ruby Banwait among the shoreline rocks during peak herring spawn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230c7f6a3794c3b40156712/e3bcb6a4-bf30-4fe4-b720-19d93e62aff4/886ca650-de23-4e72-b9d4-dc0c9a359e93.jpg Blog -  Tem lhawt’: Time to Feast  - About the Author Ruby Banwait works as a Cultural & Land Ambassador with Talaysay Tours.

This story starts with an introduction to our Sḵwx̱wú7mesh peoples, waters and ways of living as an ecologically sustainable society. "Love the Land" is a philosophy and way of life that emphasizes a profound, reciprocal relationship with the Earth. Rooted in Indigenous values in North Vancouver, it represents a deep respect for nature, viewing the land not as property but as a living entity that sustains and connects all beings. We recognize that these people of the land have worked together in stewardship and management by collaborating and working by effective protocols for thousands of years. We will consider how this beautiful landscape faces climate change and loss of biodiversity and the effects of excessive/extractive harvesting and pollution. As a generation we are in a unique position and opportunity to come together as a community, both indigenous and settler, to experience, inquire and learn the ethnoecology, of the place we call home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230c7f6a3794c3b40156712/5b66bc39-9ab8-4d7b-b3d8-4f1560a9f930/IMG_3721.png Tours & Experiences - Love the Land - What to Expect Love the Land is an invitation to reconnect with place; to walk gently, listen deeply, and remember the living relationships that sustain us.

Throughout the tour, you’ll explore themes of ecological interconnection: the life cycles of salmon, the restoration of forest gardens, and the vital links between land and water that support all living beings. Each step reveals how traditional Indigenous knowledge guides contemporary understandings of food security, biodiversity, and climate resilience.

You’ll gain a deeper understanding of how these monumental works embody Indigenous law, kinship, and respect for all living beings.

Throughout the tour, you’ll explore themes of ecological interconnection: the life cycles of salmon, the restoration of forest gardens, and the vital links between land and water that support all living beings. Each step reveals how traditional Indigenous knowledge guides contemporary understandings of food security, biodiversity, and climate resilience. This is a slow, conversational experience, blending storytelling, cultural teaching, and quiet reflection. Guests are invited to consider their own place within these systems, and how care for the land begins with attention. Every Love the Land tour concludes with a cup of Indigenous tea, shared in gratitude and reflection; a moment to pause, connect, and carry the teachings forward. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230c7f6a3794c3b40156712/636e1903-f43b-427e-bc4c-521b379820d8/Talaysay_Tours%28169%29.jpg Tours & Experiences - Love the Land - Where We Meet We gather at the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre (SLCC) in Whistler, located near Parking Lot 4, with our walk beginning from the Lorimer Road entrance to the Lost Lake Loop Trail.

Love the Land Adventures in Land-Based Learning and Ethnoecology is a guided walking experience hosted in Squamish, on the homelands and waters of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation). This experience begins with an introduction to the local people, waterways, forests, and the enduring relationship between community and land in this region. “Love the Land” is a teaching and a way of life, a reminder that our responsibilities to the Earth are reciprocal. In Squamish, this philosophy reflects the long-standing values of respecting the land as a living relative, not an object or resource. It is a worldview shaped by thousands of years of land-based knowledge, careful harvesting practices, and community stewardship. At Alice Lake, guests are invited to slow their pace and reconnect with the forest through stories of ecology, history, and restoration. Together we consider how this landscape has changed over time, how climate change and biodiversity loss are affecting local ecosystems, and how Indigenous land stewardship offers pathways of care and renewal. As a generation, we find ourselves in an important moment, a chance to learn together, to bridge Indigenous and settler perspectives, and to understand the ethnoecology of the places we call home. “Love the Land” is an invitation into that relationship: to observe, to inquire, and to walk with respect. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230c7f6a3794c3b40156712/1310bcac-4653-4a15-ac70-df041b48a02f/Talaysay_Tours%28176%29.jpg Tours & Experiences - Love the Land - What to Expect Love the Land is an invitation to reconnect with place; to walk gently, listen deeply, and remember the living relationships that sustain us.

Typical travel can range from shorter shoreline segments to 20+ km in a day, depending on route, conditions, and group readiness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230c7f6a3794c3b40156712/b0794da9-1e51-46b3-bdd1-c5e428cdabd4/s2.jpg Tours & Experiences - Paddle Tours - Multi-Day - What to Expect Multi-day paddles include: Guided paddling with support in technique, safety, and expedition pacing Shoreline landings, learning stops, and time with the elements Opportunities for reflection, discussion, and group connection Camping along the coast, with meals, logistics, and guidance supported Cultural teachings, ecological insight, and inquiry-based learning Routes that may involve moderate to significant distance over water Our guides adjust pace and content based on tides, weather, and group needs.
