{{Use Canadian English|date=January 2023}} {{more refs|date=June 2025}} '''Schenks''' (Squamish ''Schètx̱w'') and '''Chekwelp''' (''Ch’ḵw’elhp'') are two villages of the Indigenous Squamish, located near what is now known as Gibsons, British Columbia. Although vacant for years, these villages are told in the oral history as the birthplace of the Squamish, after what they call ''the Great Flood''. There are two Indian reserves of the Squamish Nation at this location, '''Chekwelp Indian Reserve No. 26''' and '''Chekwelp Indian Reserve No. 26A'''.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-03-18 |title=First Nations - Reserves/Settlements/Villages |url=https://fnp-ppn.aadnc-aandc.gc.ca/fnp/Main/Search/FNReserves.aspx?BAND_NUMBER=555&lang=eng |access-date=2025-06-24 |website=First Nation Profiles |publisher=Government of Canada}}</ref>
