𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗦𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗢𝗡! 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘆🎙 Stó:lō Signal Season 2: Guided by our S’Í:WES In this 4th episode of the season we explore: 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗜𝘀 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗪𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝗲. 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Stó:lō people have two important types of stories. Sxwōxwiyá:m — our creation stories, or stories of our distant past and Sqwélqwel or true news, which are stories passed down between generations. Listen to full episode: https://www.sxta.bc.ca/podcast/s02e04-this-is-who-we-are-storytelling-and-the-oral-tradition/ 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/st%C3%B3-l%C5%8D-signal/id1505640344 #Sólhtémexw #StólōSignalPodcast #SXTA #PulseofthePeople
𝗢𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗮𝘆 📅 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟮, 𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟴, The 6 SXTA communities gathered in Leq’á:mel and officially moved into Stage 5 of the six stage BC Treaty Process. We did so without preparing an Agreement in Principle, which was a groundbreaking change for treaty negotiations. Instead we are creating S’ólh Lets’emó:t. S’ólh means “ours” and Lets’emó:t means “one thought.” Working from our Treaty Principles, SXTA Leadership are creating a document outlining our governance vision that we will present to our members and to the governments of BC and Canada once we have an approved Constitution. Our goal is to implement our nationhood, govern our people, lands and resources and take control of our own destiny. No Stó:lō Aboriginal Rights and Title will be extinguished by a treaty, self-government agreement, or any other SXTA work. #TheIndianActSucks #SXTA #Sólhtémexw #PulseofthePeople #MOUSigningCeremony
