From the wall text: “In its translation to Kwak'wala, Oh, How I Long For Home - 'Wa'lasan xwalsa kan ne'nakwe' - refers to a "return," as well as to the cycle of the sun rising. The double meaning of title not only points to an idea of home as Indigenous territory, but the longing for home that settlers also seek, complicated by unceded lands.”
