My family is the Nahanee Family, from the Skwxwu7mesh Nation, and the Williams Family from Sto:lo Nation, the Wyss family from the Swiss Nation, and the Nihinu Family of Hawaii. Welcome to my beautiful home that you all know as Vancouver, and is known as many village names throughout this area, continuously inhabited by the Coast Salish People: Skwxwu7mesh, Whu- Muthqueam & Tseil-Watuth Nations!
I run the Urban Aboriginal Food Enhancement Program with Vancouver Native Health Society, through funding supported by AHIP- Aboriginal Health Initiatives Plan.
