This app provides a self-guided tour of eight First Nations Monuments in the waterfront community of Oak Bay, bordering Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. A map shows a suggested 1.5 hour drive, a 2.5 hour bike ride or a 5 hour walk. The Monuments feature artwork by Salish artist Charles Elliott and stories from Songhees artist Butch Dick about traditional First Nations culture and history and sustainable use of natural resources. Audio clips and text describe scenic coastal picnic stops, cafes, washrooms, parks and other services along the route. Users learn about the long and deep relationship with the land and the sea of the original First Nations inhabitants, ancestors of today’s vibrant Lekwungen communities – the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations.

Users can see a list and map of the monuments (with directions) and then can tap to view additional information and listen to interpretive audio clips.
