"This teaching kit offers educators a unique opportunity to learn from us about our rich history and our contemporary lives. We have provided you with a wealth of information on our community, past and present. We do this first in each section of the Teacher's Resource because it is important to us that we provide educators with as full a picture as possible. Each chapter begins with quotes from Musqueam community members as a way to start the learning process and to reinforce that we, as Musqueam people, are sharing our history xʷməθkʷəy̓əm: qʷi:l̕qʷəl̕ ʔə kʷθə snəw̓eyəɬ ct 2 Musqueam: giving information about our teachings Teaching Kit Overview and our culture with you and your students.
