Excerpt from 2017 article

The Skwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw/Squamish Nation has started work to develop their own plan for Átl’ḵa7tsem/Txwnéwu7ts/Howe Sound, which is the next step in painting a holistic vision for Skwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw/Squamish Nation territory. It will build on the land use plan for the upper watersheds, Xay Temíxw – Sacred Land, by incorporating plans for the marine environment and stream catchments to the mouth of Átl’ḵa7tsem/Txwnéwu7ts/Howe Sound.
