Joe Capilano (1850–1910), was a leader of the Squamish, who called him Sa7plek (Sahp-luk). He fought for the recognition of Native rights and lifestyle. Capilano spent his youth fishing and hunting. He went to work in the sawmill at Moodyville, a pioneer settlement in what is now the Lower Lonsdale area of the City of North Vancouver. (wikipedia, 2013-03-25) In 1906 he, along with Cowichan Chief Charley Isipaymilt and Secwepemc Chief Basil David, traveled to Ottawa, then after that London, to meet with King of Canada Edward VII to speak of the need to settle land claims in British Columbia. Joe Capilano died of tuberculosis in 1910.
