walk quietly / ts’ekw’unshun kws qututhun is a community-guided walk located at the end of River Road West in Ladner, British Columbia. The walk is curated by Amy-Claire Huestis and Kim Trainor. It tells the story of Hwlhits’um (Brunswick Point / Canoe Pass) from the diverse and complex perspectives of Indigenous Peoples, scientists, and artists.
We humbly acknowledge this project takes place on the ancestral and present-day lands of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the Hul’qumi’num Mustimuhw (Hul’qumi’num Treaty Group of seven Coast Salish Nations), scəw̓aθən (Tsawwassen), and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam). This project is in participation and consultation with the Hwlitsum First Nation and works to build ties with all whose lands it touches.
The walk links specific spots on the dike trail at Hwlhits’um to the many contributions found on the website: https://walkquietly.ca. Follow the trail and listen, watch, and learn about this special place.
Other participating institutions include: Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Douglas College, Birds Canada, and Metro Vancouver Parks.
