Coast Salish Welcome Song

On a recent Forest Walk through Stanley Park, Vancouver blogger Miss604 was treated to a traditional Coast Salish Welcome Song performed by Chief Ian Campbell of the Squamish Nation. These songs are an integral part of Canadian Aboriginal culture, and are still performed today for visitors who come to BC seeking an Aboriginal cultural tourism experience.
