SEABIRD ISLAND
Is a small Sto:lo First Nations settlement, located halfway between Agassiz and Hope and also in the Fraser River just off of the Lougheed Highway (Highway #7). Seabird Island has been a community of the Sto:lo First Nation since 1879 and has been home to their annual event; the Earth voice Festival, which became a replacement for the Voices for the Wilderness Festival in the Stein Valley near Lytton on Highway #12. Seabird Island’s name is referred from the Paddlewheel steamboat “sea bird” which ran ground here back on June 24th of 1858.
