Names That Echoes Through Time

Khatsahlano—this evocative name resonates with the rich tapestry of Vancouver’s history. It’s a tribute to Chief August Jack Khatsahlano, a Squamish medicine man whose legacy is interwoven with the Kitsilano area’s past. To pronounce “Khatsahlano,” say “Khat-sah-lah-no”, with a soft emphasis on each syllable. In Chinese, the festival’s name is phonetically rendered as 卡薩拉諾 (Kǎ sà lā nuò), bridging cultural divides with the universal language of music and celebration.
