I am proud to be Sto:lo. I am the hereditary Chief of
Skawahlook
First Nation, which is one of the 19 member First Nations in Sto:lo Nation. I have been on council since 1991 and have been
hereditary Chief since May 1999, when Grand Chief Anna Maguire
passed the roles and responsibilities on to me. I am one of 14
children to Bill Chapman Sr. (deceased) and Anna (Chapman)
Maguire of Ruby Creek, British Columbia.
I have one son and three grandsons, and they are some of the
reasons I am an advocate for what is right, conducting myself
with honesty and integrity in all that I do. If we can truly
unite as a nation, and do not play into the hands of those that
seek to turn us against each other, then I know our children and
grandchildren will have a bright and prosperous future.
