- Story
Later that day he presented me with a small book called, The Legends of Vancouver by E. Pauline Johnson in which was the story I was trying to recall The Siwash Rock. In the opening paragraph, Pauline Johnson said:
"I saw it first in the slanting lights of a readily setting August sun, the
little tuft of green shrubbery that crests its summit was black against
the crimson of sea and sky, and its colossal base of grey stone
gleaming like flaming polished granite..."
This, and other legends told to the author by Chief Joe Capilano are worthy of being read over and over again. I find a great deal of inspiration in them, but that is another story.
This work is dedicated to the memory of Chief Dan George who was a friend and source of great wisdom.
