Visit Whistler’s Living First Nations Cultural Centre
The Squamish and Lil’wat Nations built the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre to house and showcase both their unique nations’ art, history and culture. The Centre’s purpose is to share our cultural knowledge and inspire understanding and respect amongst all people.
Summer Feast & Tour
Offered Tuesday and Sunday evenings, this dining experience is unlike any other in Whistler. Join us for a guided tour at 6pm followed by captivating cultural performances and an Indigenous-inspired feast at 7pm.
![International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples Day is observed each year on August 9; we are a few days late, nevertheless we want to take this moment to acknowledge the significance of August 9 (words by @IndigenousCanada): [August 9] marks International #IndigenousPeoplesDay. Across the globe, Indigenous peoples have sought recognition of their identities, their way of life and their right to traditional lands, territories and natural resources for years, yet throughout history their rights have always been violated. ... we reflect and celebrate our culture, as we work towards revitalizing and maintaining our languages, traditions, and way of life.
