Senakw

Sen̓áḵw (Salishan pronunciation: [sen̰aqʷ]) or sən̓aʔqʷ (Salishan pronunciation: [sənˀaʔqʷ]), rendered in English as Snawk, Snawq, Sneawq, or Snawkw, is a village site of the Indigenous Squamish people, located near what is now known as the Kitsilano neighbourhood of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

In 1869 the Colonial Government set aside land around the village, and in 1877 the Joint Reserve Commission established by the Provincial and Federal Governments to deal with land allotments to indigenous people in B.C., expanded the area set aside to approximately 80 acres (32 ha) as False Creek Indian Reserve No.

This village was also the home of August Jack Khatsahlano, a prominent chief (or siy̓ám̓[2]) of the Squamish and a notable Vancouver historian on local Indigenous history.

Provincial Government induced the residents to relocate by coercing them to sell, an action which was later found to be illegal.
