χʷəχʷéy̓əm means Oral Storytelling in hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓, the language of the Kwantlen, Katzie, Tsawwassen, Kwikwetlem, and Musqueam First Nations on whose traditional territories our University is built. 

The name was gifted by Sesmelot (Fern Gabriel,) a respected language teacher and consultant from Kwantlen First Nation. The χʷəχʷéy̓əm Indigenous Collection features Indigenous material by Indigenous authors emphasizing the importance of Indigenous Peoples telling their own stories.

Please listen to our virtual recordings of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ words used on campus, including  χʷəχʷéy̓əm. The recording publication was organized under the leadership of Len Pierre from Katzie First Nation.
