Whilst researching land issues in the provincial Capital Regional District (Victoria, BC<\/a>) came across an 1854 survey of properties. This is in the traditional lands of several Coast Salish First Nations, including “the Pauquachin, Tseycum, Tsawout and Tsartlip had villages on the Saanich Peninsula; the Scia\u2019new and T\u2019Souke were indigenous to Metchosin and Sooke. The Kosampson (now called Esquimalt Nation) occupied locations along Esquimalt Harbour and Portage Inlet in View Royal. The Lekwungen (now called Songhees) occupied lands in and adjacent to the boundaries of the City of Victoria.” Several reserves are marked on this map. It is delicately tinted with watercolour inks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
