TOUR PACKAGES
Authentic Tour Package (1.5 hours)
Our authentic tour starts with a song from our Ambassadors followed by a viewing of our film about both First Nations. Our 15 minute film provides a spectacular visual portrayal of Squamish and Lil'wat traditional territories - featuring our languages, traditional practices and contemporary cultures. After the film, our guided tour allows you to view exhibits that explore our relationship to the land and objects that celebrate our traditions of art, music and ceremony, past and present. Touch screens and interactive panels showcase our languages, artifacts and seasonal use of land and resources. In our contemporary gallery, view modern art and make a craft; learn about Salish wool and cedar weaving.
