On Squamish territory, February is known as the Time of the Frog Songs, or the beginning of spring.

“Frogs are a symbol of springtime, cleansing and rebirth. Frogs start out living in water and later move to land, so for this reason Frog symbolizes the ability of adaptation, change and transformation. Their springtime songs are a sign for our people to put away the winter activities and prepare for a new season.” SQUAMISH LIL’WAT CULTURAL CENTRE [reference]
