RAIC – Vancouver Island South presents – Settlement Victoria: The Indigenous Perspective (A Walking Tour)
Mark Albany, an elder and knowledge keeper of the Songhees Nation, has graciously offered to lead a 2.5-hour walking tour of his ancestral lands, to understand downtown Victoria from a Lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) point of view. The purpose of this walk is to bring an understanding of the history of both the Lekwungen peoples , the settlers of Victoria and their dramatic convergence. By getting a better understanding of their respective cultures and philosophies this hopefully leads to a better interpretation of reconciliation for this area. The tour will also highlight how much has changed in Victoria in a short period of time.
