August Jack (Khatsahlano, X̱ats'alanexw) (July 16, 1877 – June 5, 1971)[1] was an Indigenous/Aboriginal chief of the Squamish people. He was born in the village of X̱wáýx̱way [citation needed] or Chaythoos on the peninsula that is now Stanley Park, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, the son of Supple Jack "Khay- Tulk" of Chaythoos and Sally "Owhaywat" from the Yekwaupsum Reserve north of Squamish, British Columbia. His grandfather was Chief Khahtsahlano of Senakw (aka Snauq or Sun'ahk) who had migrated from his home at Toktakanmic on the Squamish River to Chaythoos, and the man from whom he inherited his name. The suffix "lan-ogh" in their name means "man".[2]
