A much-loved Canadian classic, Legends of Vancouver takes the reader back to a time long ago, before the city of Vancouver was built, when the land belonged to the Squamish people. These legends tell the stories behind many prominent natural features in and around Vancouver. The legends included are mostly Chinook, and had been previously published in the Vancouver Daily Province. The stories were collected by E. Pauline Johnson, the Mohawk poet also known as Tekahionwake, and originally published in 1922
