Semá:th Xó:tsa: Great Gramma’s Lake

For milennia, Semá:th Xó:tsa (Sumas Lake) flourished between the Sumas and Vedder mountains in the unceded territory of the Stó:lō people. Between 1919 and 1924, settlers lobbied the government to drain the lake, disregarding the devastating impact on indigenous communities.

From June 29th to September 2nd, witness the beauty of Semá:th Xó:tsa through illustrations of the children’s book published by The Reach Gallery Museum.
