˜Cowichan Indian Culture and History –

As a complement to our Halkomelem language information, here is our collection of indexed links about the Cowichan tribe and their society. Please note that Cowichan and other American Indians are living people with a present and a future as well as a past. Cowichan history is interesting and important, but the Cowichan Indians are still here today, too, and we try to feature modern writers as well as traditional folklore, contemporary art as well as museum pieces, and the life and struggles of today as well as the tragedies of yesterday. Please contact us if you have a Cowichan link to add.
