Mary Lake Connections Respected elder Tom Sampson, from the Tsartlip First Nation regarding Mary Lake: “Everything has a purpose and that purpose is to be respected and protected for all time. You cannot own it. We have to share that moss and shade of tree with other parts of creation. The residents that are underneath that moss, it is amazing what you will find under there. You will find lizards you will find snakes you will find everything there.”
