Musqueam leaders and representatives of the City of Vancouver gathered on the city’s west side on Friday to unveil the official signage for a street that has been renamed in the First Nation’s language.

The road, formerly named Trutch Street, now bears the name šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmasəm Street (pronounced sh-MUS-quee-um-AW-sum), which translates to Musqueamview in English. Signposts bear the English name below the official Musqueam name.

The street was formerly named after Joseph Trutch, B.C.’s first lieutenant governor, whose policies had devastating effects on Indigenous communities.

Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim called the new name an "important milestone" in the city’s ongoing journey towards truth and reconciliation with Indigenous peoples.

But as Global’s Paul Johnson reports, not all First Nations are happy with the process.
