q̓q̓ic̓əy̓ (Katzie) - Land of the moss

Katzie First Nation are traditional hənq̓əmínəm̓ speaking people. Most of our strong and growing community of 614 members continue to live in our traditional territory. At the centre of our territory is sq̓ə́yc̓əyaʔɬ x̌acaʔ (the lake of the Katzie), now known as Pitt Lake. Our territory extends to include the streams, rivers, and lands included within the present-day municipalities of Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge, Surrey, Langley and traditional territory in surrounding cities. We trace our origins to our Ancestor θéləctən who was placed in q̓ic̓əy̓ (Katzie) territory by the powerful benefactor Swaneset. Swaneset shaped the lands and waters so that q̓ic̓əy̓ might care for them, and they in turn might care for q̓ic̓əy̓. We continue, despite the devastating impacts of residential schools and the forced imposition of other colonial policies, to celebrate, strengthen, and practice the knowledge and traditions of our Ancestors.

Our departments include Administration, Health, Human and Social Services, Katzie Early Years Centre, Finance, Lands & Civil Services, Katzie Incremental Self Government and Referrals.
