"Legends of Vancouver" by E. Pauline Johnson is a collection of indigenous legends and folklore written in the early 20th century. The book explores the rich tapestry of stories that connect the Pacific Northwest's natural landscape with Native American culture, specifically drawing from the Squamish tribe's traditions. Through these narratives, readers will encounter various figures and themes that illuminate the values of nature, family, and community within indigenous life. The opening of the volume introduces the author and her intention to weave together the stories she learned from Chief Joe Capilano, a prominent Squamish leader. The text begins with a poetically descriptive portrayal of "The Lions," two prominent mountain peaks near Vancouver, which are steeped in legend and significance to the indigenous peoples. Johnson shares the story of these peaks as guardians of the land and the peace they symbolize between tribes, setting the tone for the stories that intertwine the beauty of nature with the teachings of Native culture, as she invites readers to delve into a world where legends come alive through the vibrant landscape of Vancouver.
