Denman Island land acknowledgment identifies Pentlatch ancestry

community · September 2022 · Denman Island

An article discusses learning about the Indigenous peoples who stewarded Denman Island, identified as Sla-dal-alch, and acknowledges the traditional territory of peoples of Pentlatch ancestry. It promotes sustainable food practices including stewardship, seed saving and traditional growing and preservation methods.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
