August Jack (Khatsahlano, Xats'alanexw) (July 16, 1867 – June 5, 1971)[1] was an Indigenous/Aboriginal chief of the Sḵwxwú7mesh. He was born in the village of Xwayxway on the peninsula that is now Stanley Park, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. In his later years, he lived in multiple Sḵwxwú7mesh villages including Xwemelch'stn, Sta7mes, and, most notably, Senakw. He became famous for recording his people's oral history and working closely with many of Vancouver's first settlers. A Vancouver neighborhood, Kitsilano, adopted his name, as well as a high school Kitsilano Secondary School.
