When the Snow Falls
Meqó:s - Fallen Moon- This is Winter Solstice time
Chris Silver, Semá:th First Nation shares:
We celebrate Winter Solstice; it is cleansing for us Xwélmexw People. Winter Solstice has the longest nights of the year. It is a time to reflect on everything you have done over the year. The teaching was when the snow came down it would cover your tracks, and as a person you could come out a better person.”
Teacher note: Xwélmexw is the Halq'eméylem word for First Nation Person.
