Brenda Silvey calls herself a matriarch of the land, and her supporters say they’ve been holding ceremony with hereditary leaders.

Sparrow believes Silvey is a descendant of the Sunshine Coast family, with no Indigenous claim to the area.

Last week , the Vancouver Park Board ordered Silvey and her group to leave the site.
