British Columbia naming a bridge stal̕əw̓asəm in the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ language. A 2 page guide and a video is being provided by the government to pronounce this written language which was made up at UBC in 2007. (twitter.com)

Can we name a bridge in Klingon? It is older after all.

Why not Chinese? 90% of BC is Chinese

Oddly enough, half my friends in BC are Chinese.

Looks like all of them got the 'Musqueam' bred out of them several centuries ago.

How are they not white? Their European ancestry is probably 98%.

Everything about them screams fake. From their fake language to their fake culture.

It's fucking hilarious how many Indian activists are just whites grifting.

Can't blame them. If you can sell yourself as "anything but fully white" lots of doors and opportunities open up. Scholarships, DEI, govt grants, etc.

Notice how rare it is for someone with a bit of mixed genes associate themselves as fully White, especially on paperwork. Zero advantages to do so.

The company that created the Canadian vaxx pass system (and over billing by a couple billion dollars) was two Reds and a White who farmed the actual work out to shell companies.

They only got the contract because the Canadian government requires their contractors to pretend to be Skraeling.

Massive avenue for corruption, based on descrimination against Whites; Canada may a well be in Africa...

It sucks because it's self perpetuating. I'm guilty of it myself. My grandma is half Cherokee. You bet your ass I applied for the vehicle tags and registrations, and for the "free" money they handed out during COVID.

Why wouldn't I? I only paid $200 to tag and register my 20k truck when I bought it. And they gave out $3000 for "hardship" applicants during COVID lockdowns. Didn't even ask any questions to prove you lost hours or your job. Just "free" money.

I don't take advantage of everything "free" they offer, like healthcare and housing, but it's the easiest thing in the world and it's just waiting for you to take it. You have to have strong will and pride to not take freely given bennies.

Many years ago, one of the proto-woke, closeted hipster types I knew in Vancouver unsolicitedly told me that the Musqueam band was completely fake & had no authentic claim to urban Vancouver lands.

He claimed that upon contact, the group labeled as Musqueam was actually just a fishing party met by Europeans at the mouth of the Fraser river. Not a distinct band, just an away party for a bigger tribe originating further inland.

Today, the Musqueam Nation has over 1,300 members, many living on their reserve south of Marine Drive. They actively defend their traditional territory and rights, as seen in recent legal actions like appealing a 2025 BC Supreme Court ruling on land and fishing rights in Richmond and the Fraser River's south arm. Landmark Supreme Court of Canada cases, such as Guerin and Sparrow, originated from Musqueam assertions of Aboriginal rights.

There are only 1,300 members.

No Musqueam-specific modern genetic studies exist in available data, but like other First Nations, post-contact (1800s+) European admixture varies individually (often 5–20% in similar groups via historical records), determined by kinship and band enrollment rather than DNA thresholds.

Stale Bridge.

Simple names, short and clear, bring better road safety.
