"Moonlight on Scia'new"

'If I could have one more wish
just to stand once again
on those ancient lands
when the moon in June
washes over the shores of Scia'new'

A beautiful morning in the ancient lands 

of Scia'new (''the place of the big fish,") today...

The Scia'new First Nations trace their ancestry 

to people who spoke four different languages. 

The community recognizes all four languages 

although they are not all currently spoken. 

The predominant language is now Hul’q’umi’num

It is for me the the most preciously beautiful

of all the areas in the south Island.

I have spent many hours and days

salmon fishing in these waters,

but it will never be as

often as I wished...
