The City of Victoria and adjoining territory has been occupied by Aboriginal people for over 4000 years. The Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations people are a part of the Coast Salish ethnic group and descendants of the following family groups: Kakyaakan, Teechamitsa, Whyomilth, Kosampsom, Swenwhung, Chilcowitch and Chekonein.
The Songhees Nation is now located in Esquimalt on Vancouver Island, 5 kilometers from Victoria, the capital of British Columbia. Historically, the original site of the Songhees Indian Reservation was located in Victoria's Inner Harbour. The main village sites were at the British Columbia Legislature and James Bay, and across the harbour on the Victoria west side.
The Lekwungen People's population was once in the thousands. This number was tragically reduced by the small pox epidemics, and other diseases, in the 1800's. The Coast Salish people and culture survived the epidemics, as well as colonization, and banishment of Traditional Ceremonies.
