Siwash Rock:
Originally known to mariners as Nine Pin Rock for its vague resemblance to a bowling pin, the Squamish name for the rock is Slahkayulsh, meaning "he is standing up." The hole in the rock was where Slahkayulsh kept his fishing tackle, according to Andrew Paull.[2] In Legends of Vancouver, poet Pauline Johnson relates a Squamish legend of how a man was transformed into Siwash Rock "as an indestructible monument to Clean Fatherhood."[3] A plaque near the rock (pictured) states that it is "Skalsh the unselfish," who was transformed by "Q'uas the transformer" as a reward for unselfishness.[
