The Big River, now called Fraser; grey, fast, deep.
Charted but wild. The entire land locked
by mountains, ocean and artificial line called
border – yet, there too, right on the other side of
that invisible line, lies another wall:
the Cascades. Between these two walls is She, staľәẁ.
The vein carrying the lifeline of the Valley.
Called today a Fraser Valley. Living river,
like a huge Snake of Life, of good and bad.
staľәẁ the Lifegiver, and staľәẁ the Lifetaker.
