Land & Watershed Acknowledgement

Quadra Island Salmon Enhancement Society was formed with concern for Quadra Island’s wild salmon and the intention to support their populations and habitats. Salmon have been central to the ecosystem of this island for millennia, nourishing the forests, animals and humans who have made their homes here. Wild salmon stocks thrived up and down the Pacific coast before European colonization, and Quadra Island itself is traditional and unceded First Nations territory.

QISES respectfully honours the traditional heritage of land and water relationships of the Liǧʷiɫdax̌ʷ (Laich-Kwil-Tach) first nations: the We Wai Kai, Wei Wai Kum, and Kwiakah First Nations, and the central importance of the wild salmon to traditional life here. We also acknowledge our Coast Salish neighbours, the Xwemalhkwu and K’omoks Nations, who have close connections to these lands, waters, and fishes. QISES was founded to rehabilitate salmon populations which have been greatly diminished by destructive colonization practices, which have displaced peoples, habitat, and other living creatures.  We hope to contribute to a better future with our focus on helping perpetuate generations of wild salmon to come.
