From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
August Jack (Khatsahlano, Xats'alanexw) (Born ?? – June 5, 1971)[1] was a Indigenous/Aboriginal chief of the Sḵwxwú7mesh. He was born in the village of Xwayxway on the peninsula that is now Stanley Park, Vancouver. Later on in life he lived in multiple Sḵwxwú7mesh villages such as Xwemelch'stn, Sta7mes, and most notably, Senakw. He became famous for recording his people's oral history, and working closely with many of Vancouver's first settlers. The neighbourhood of Kitsilano in Vancouver was named after this man, coming from his name of Xats'alanexw.
