sqwumey + shqwumey'ul'nuts (dog + dog poop) by Capital Daily

This month, UVic researchers unveiled new research from an island just off Ucluelet: Biological details of ancient “wooly” dogs that were kept by the ancestors of the Tseshaht First Nation as sources for hair to be used in weaving. Although the Tseshaht did not speak Hul'qumi'num, dogs (and their leavings) were equally to be found among the Hul'qumi'num-speaking villages along the eastern side of Vancouver Island. According to legend from the land that is now Duncan, the first-ever Cowichan man to fall to earth quickly became lonely and prayed for a companion. So the Creator, naturally, sent him a dog.
