Syex̱wáliya Ann Whonnock is a Knowledge Carrier & Elder from Skwxwú7mesh Uxwumixw (Squamish Nation) with strong Indigenous worldviews, ancestral knowledge and traditional teachings.
As taught by her late grandparents, Syex̱wáliya supports families and shares cultural teachings and protocols within and outside of her community. Her passion is to see that Squamish culture, language and ceremonies continue to be the cornerstone of the Nation for future generations and the culture carried on by future generations and her snichim (language) to be used, not only by herself, but for all the families and future generations in their daily lives and ceremonies. Let’s not let our Culture and Snichim die out!
