A dynamic new exhibit curated by Semiahmoo First Nation opens October 22 in the Museum of Surrey’s Indigenous Hall. Che’ Semiahmah-Sen, Che’ Shesh Whe Weleq-sen Si’am (I am Semiahmoo, I am Survivor of the Flood) explores the ways that the Nation has flourished since the Great Flood at the end of the last Ice Age.

The exhibit features two large dioramas created by archaeologist Don Welsh, showing the sophisticated technology of reef net fishing and a summer fishing village. Also, on display will be several woven cedar pieces, including a violin case made by Matilda Charles of Semiahmoo First Nation on loan from Museum of Anthropology, video interviews and more.

“Semiahmoo has and will continue to flourish on our land. We have always been here. We will always be here,” said Chief Harley Chappell.

The Indigenous Hall is a designated space at the museum designed and programmed with consent by Semiahmoo, Katzie and Kwantlen First Nations.

“With respect and gratitude, we acknowledge that the Museum of Surrey is built on the traditional unceeded territories of the Semiahmoo, Kwantlen, and Katzie Nations,” said Museum of Surrey Manager, Lynn Saffery. “We are honoured to work and learn on land they have stewarded since time immemorial. We recognize their enduring presence on this ancient land.”

Historic Stewart Farm

Historic Stewart Farm hopes these topics and many more will inspire conversation and storytelling at their new free virtual series that launches this month – Historic Stewart Farm History Talks.

Each week join staff for a facilitated discussion on different aspects of Surrey’s past.

“It is our hope that the photographs, oral histories, research and memories shared will inspire conversation,” said curator Jerrilin Spence, who notes that the virtual talks are designed to be conversational. “Grab a cup of tea and come share your memories, ask questions and learn through dialogue with other community members.”

Each session will begin at 10:30am and run 45 minutes. Choose from a variety of topics or sign up for multiple sessions to learn something new each week.

The first talk ‘Home Life’ launches May 22 and 26. Home life will be followed by Restaurants (June 5 and 9), Near the Water (June 19 and 23), and Celebrations (July 3 and 7).

On June 5 from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m., Historic Stewart Farm will also be offering a free virtual, interactive cooking lesson straight from the farmhouse kitchen – Heritage Kitchen: Whipped Cream Scones. Participants ages 19+ or families will learn how to make old-fashioned scones like the Stewarts used to.
