Musqueam Post dedicated at UBC Vancouver campus
The Musqueam people and UBC acknowledged their developing partnership on April 6, 2016 with the dedication of a striking cedar post installed prominently on the Point Grey campus, which is located on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Musqueam people.
Carved by talented Musqueam artist, Brent Sparrow Jr., the post tells an origin story of the Musqueam name.
