From Great Flood to Sacred Place
The Legend of ȽÁU, WELṈEW̱ tells the W̱SÁNEĆ creation story of survival during a great flood. The ancestors secured their canoe to a mountain peak with a great cedar rope, and when the waters receded, that place became known as ȽÁU, WELṈEW̱ — “Place of Refuge.” This story explains the origin of an important cultural landmark and its lasting role in W̱SÁNEĆ identity. The video shares this teaching so future generations and the wider community can continue to learn from it.
