Musqueam First Nation We are of One Hear and Mind
CANDO is excited to announce its partnership with the Musqueam First Nation in hosting the 18th Annual National Conference & AGM to be held on November 7-10, 2011 in Richmond, British Columbia. Musqueam was one of the four “Host Nations” along with Tsleil-Watuth, Sqaumish and Lil’wat that partnered with the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.
Article featured below is an excerpt from the “Musqueam Community Profile.

This territory is 144,888 hectares (358,026 acres) and includes all of present day Vancouver, extending north-west up Howe Sound and east up the Fraser Valley. Historically, we traveled far and wide and traded and inter-married with Nations up and down the coast of present day BC, Vancouver Island and in Washington State.
