The Cultural Significance of Brohm Ridge to the Squamish Nation
Academic Work
On 9 October 2003 the Squamish requested Dr. Dorothy Kennedy and Randy Bouchard to compile an opinion report on the use of the Brohm Ridge area by both aboriginal and contemporary Squamish Nation members. In order to express this opinion, it has been necessary to conduct a literature search of relevant ethnographic, ethnohistorical and linguistic source materials, and particularly Kennedy and Bouchard's research undertaken with numerous Squamish individuals over the past three decades.
Brohm Ridge is an upland area of 4-5,000 feet elevation that forms the lower slopes of Mount Garibaldi, situated east of the Cheakamus River. From this ridge drains Swift Creek, Brohm River, and the Cheekye River, all of which empty into the Cheakamus River.
Maps showing the extent of the lands occupied exclusively by British Columbia's aboriginal people include Brohm Ridge in the traditional territory of the sḵx̱wúm̓ish, the ancestors of the contemporary Squamish Nation (also known as the Squamish Indian Band).
