The World

Today’s Geo Quiz sent us searching for a city park in Canada that’s bigger than Central Park. The answer is Stanley Park, in Vancouver. But it had ANOTHER name long before European settlers arrived. Anchor Marco Werman speaks with Chief Koxelton Sayem, chief of the Squamish Nation, whose people have lived in and around what is now the Vancouver area for centuries.
