PSII acknowledges and thanks the lək̓ʷəŋən People, also known as the Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations, for the opportunity to learn and to celebrate on their lands. Lək̓ʷəŋən means “Place to smoke herring”, and lək̓ʷəŋiʔnəŋ refers to the language of the land. Lək̓ʷəŋən traditionally, and still to-date, unites the Esquimalt and Songhees peoples as one people.
