Got questions? This video has answers. 

Journey a hundred years into the future, witness a talking salmon, and find out why making a Squamish Nation Constitution is so important for our people. 

The youth of today will be the ancestors of tomorrow. Let’s be good ancestors and make a Constitution that will improve the quality of life for all Squamish people today, tomorrow, and for many generations to come.
