45. HISTORIAN OF HIS PEOPLE

August Jack Khahtsahlano (1877-1967), whose grandfather's name was transformed into “Kitsilano”, was born near here in the Salish village of Snauq. His reminiscences are an important record of the life of his people, as Vancouver changed around them from lumber village to metropolis.
