The Mohawk poet Pauline Johnson retells legends shared with her by the Squamish chief Joe Capilano, tied to the landmarks around Vancouver. Twin peaks become two sisters who brought peace, Siwash Rock honours a father’s purity, and there are tales of a lost salmon run, a sea-serpent, Deadman’s Island and a Squamish legend of Napoleon.
