Art Print - Mountains of the Sea to Sky

If you live in the Sea to Sky, you know how special the drive down the highway is. Even more special, is when you have actually hiked most of them mountains you see along the way. From West Van to Pemberton, the Sea to Sky features some very special landmarks, that I wanted to have all in one place in the form of a poster.

As a settler, and elementary school teacher on Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Land, I recognize the importance of the historical moment we are in. On my reconcilation journey as a White settler, I believe it is my job to learn the language and culture of the people whose lands I live on. What better names to learn than the original names of he mountains I consider Home?

Recognizing the effects of cultural appropriation, and knowing that I would wanted to sell my posters, I didn’t want to incorporate the Squamish Language without asking permission first.

After a long search for the right people, the Squamish Nation Language and Cultural Affairs Department approved the use of their language and provided some helpful translation details and spelling corrections.

Because it is not my language and I profit from each sale, some proceeds of each sale will be given back to the Squamish Nation through an internal scholarship that helps support Squamish Nation members in learning their language.
