Introduction

Take a moment and think of a landmark which represents the ongoing presence of the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil- Waututh) Nations.

One example is the welcome figure right underneath Burrard Bridge, on the seawall. You can only get there by foot or by bike. It is often a bit overgrown, and in some sort representative because it is there but unnoticed. The Squamish First Nation will be leading a new housing development (Senakw) in the next years.

This leads us to the first non-tech example: if we were to encode landmarks in Vancouver which are affiliated with the First Nations history and present, we could -tag- this place.

Input
