Xwalacktun is a sculptor and carver from the Squamish and 'Namgis nations, and he says symbols can represent the past, present and future for First Nations. Kym Gouchie is a Juno-nominated children's musician from the Lheidli T'enneh First Nation who says her music is inspired by the rivers and ancient forests that define her nation's territory.
