Natural Stone / Erratic in Canada

The Legend of P’Quals (the White Rock)

Long before European settlers and explorers visited the Salish Sea, people
lived here during a time when things were very different. People were
attuned with nature and carried strong spiritual powers.

The Salish Sea was protected by a sea-being and his son. The sea provided
an abundance of food to the tribes who lived along its shores. The Cowichan
people and their chief were one of those tribes.

One day, the chief’s daughter was bathing in the sea. The son of the seabeing rose to the surface and fell in love with her at first sight. The pair
hoped to receive the support of their parents, but the new couple was
denied.

The young man was determined to keep his love at all cost. He raised a huge
stone in his hands and said to his T/ále (love), “I will hurl this stone over the
water! Wherever it falls, there we will make our home.” He cast the stone
over the water, and watched as it grew.

The young man took his new wife into his arms, and swam after the great
boulder. This huge stone landed sixty miles away, on the shores of
Semiahmoo Bay. The couple chose to make their home here, and today this
stone is known as P’Quals.

This story, along with knowledge of the rock as a glacial deposit, correlate to
the oral histories of the Se mi ah ma people as survivors of the great flood.

Combined oral history and adaptations from the Grand Chief Bernard
Charles, and Bernard Charles Senior
