ȾIKEL Restoration Project

An exciting restoration initiative right at the ȽÁU, WELṈEW̱ Tribal School!

ȾIKEL (Maber Flats) was once prized as a gathering place for basketry and rope-making materials. The beautiful SX̱OLE (willow) is an important plant material for the construction of the traditional W̱SÁNEĆ reefnet.

In honour of W̱SÁNEĆ wetlands, we are working on restoring a forest and wetland area at the Tribal School with the students of the W̱SÁNEĆ School Board.
