A powerful Indigenous welcome to the Vancouver AI community from Squamish Nation counselor and carver Anthony Joseph. In this opening to Vancouver AI Meetup #26, Anthony shares stories of his teachings, matriarchs as the backbone of community, the history of Squamish territory, and how ancestors are present in language, song, and ceremony. He introduces the Bear Clan and offers a traditional bear song, connecting strength, perseverance, and care for future generations. Closing with a reflection on “using the tools available” — from canoes and carving tools to iPads, chainsaws, and AI — this welcome sets a grounded, ethical, and relational tone for the conversations to come.
