Stó:lō Nation
The Stó:lō Nation is a group of First Nations located in the Fraser Valley region of British Columbia, Canada. The name "Stó:lō" means "river" in their Halkomelem language, reflecting their deep connection to the Fraser River. The Stó:lō people have a rich cultural heritage, with traditions that include fishing, hunting, and gathering.
The Stó:lō Nation consists of several member communities, each with its own unique history and governance. They are actively involved in preserving their language, culture, and rights, and they work collaboratively on various initiatives, including economic development and environmental stewardship. The Stó:lō Nation plays a vital role in the broader context of Indigenous rights in Canada.
