Reflection: The Coast Salish peoples have been staying in the land today called Coquitlam for thousands and thousands of years. Coquitlam in their native language means red river, since at one point there were so many red fish, the river looked quite red. Coquitlam traditional  land starts all the way from the Coquitlam river all the way down to the North Shore of the Fraser River. In 1990, when the dam was built it cut off the supply of Sockeye Salmon. I learned that they are planning on expanding their land and creating a loving and great environment for all people to pass down to the next generation.
