Maybe sub groups?
There are many tribes, though some share common language with slight dialects. Coast Salish, for example, is a language spoken by many tribes on the East Coast of Vancouver Island and also the Squamish Nation and others here on the West Coast.

So a nation is made up of bands, which are in turn, are made up of tribes...........

It's also pretty heavy snowfall in east Van now.

Snow is not sticking to the ground, so far.

Sunny in South Vancouver area right now, but saw a few flakes flying around.

Weather shows snow Wednesday; hopefully that happens. I have a court appearance for my VI allegations I am disputing.

Damn, just looked out the window. Looks like a lot here in North Burnaby Monticeto So much for sleeping in till noon. I’m not going to bother shoveling the driveway. It’s all going to melt by tomorrow, right?

Driving in Vancouver this morning sucked because even the main roads that I travelled on do not appeared to be plowed. It was past 9am this morning, and whatever tracks there were on the road is made from cars driving over the snow.

I read last night that the City was preparing its road crew for keeping the arterial roads clear. I guess the main roads that I drove on weren't considered arterial enough?

I love this snow. Weekly shopping with the kids was a breeze. Nobody at No Frills on Broadway and Kent's Kitchen as deserted. Even Manpuku was empty.

Penda Gai was clear, but Keefer was compact snow.

A week ago, there was salt and brine all over the road when the temperature dropped ... as it turned out, no snow. Now today, snow was forecasted, but no sign of salt or brine or plows out ... most major roads covered with 2-3 inches around 8:30 am. Is it cuz it's Saturday?

Apparently, and according to Mainland, the brine was going to work. It didn’t rain and the conditions were ideal. Somehow, it didn’t work well in certain area. The streets I drive on were clear with no issues. I also noticed the snow in my neighborhood was the super light, powdery stuff. I salted (Alaskan Ice Melt) after shoveling and wow, what a difference. Clear and dry as a bone.

Pretty sure I saw fresh brine on the road 2-3 days along most arterial roads in Vancouver.

CoV and other municipalities are probably short staffed due to COVID. I did hear snow plows before lunch today.

I'm surprised with Delta. Might be because I live on a bus route, but my entire street and the associated streets were all plowed by 9AM LOL
