#Nuxalk - a proud and resilient community - The Nuxalk people are the original inhabitants of what is now known as British Columbia, Canada, and their rich history dates back to thousands of years ago. #IndigenousHistory #ProudAndResilientCommunity They have always lived in harmony with the land around them, respecting its gifts and the laws of nature that governed it. #RespectTheLand #NaturalHarmony As such, they never entered into any agreements or treaties with the British Empire when they first arrived on the scene. This refusal to sign away their rights and lands was a direct result of their belief in the sacred connection between all living things and the need for mutual respect and care between them. #SacredConnection #MutualRespect #CareAndWorship
