Over a century ago, Squamish People were forcibly removed from our village at Sen̓áḵw. Our homes were destroyed, but our connection to the land was never lost. In 2003, the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw reclaimed 10.48 acres of this land. In 2026, we are proud to invite our People home. 

Phase One of Sen̓áḵw includes three towers and will deliver 1409 homes over the next year, all of which prioritize Squamish interest. As homes at Sen̓áḵw prepare to open, Squamish People will have three pathways to live in the village, based on their needs and circumstances:
