Distinctive Gifts
We offer authentic gifts such as distinctive carvings, blankets, handmade jewelry, and pottery—each carrying deep cultural significance. At the SLCC, these meaningful pieces can be personalized and are presented to recipients by one of our Cultural Ambassadors, creating a memorable and authentic experience. Blankets, jewelry and pottery crafted by Indigenous artists further connect recipients to living culture and tradition, offering gifts that embody both respect and authenticity.
Talking Sticks
Used by First Nations peoples, the Talking Stick symbolizes respect, listening, and the power of words. Traditionally shared in council circles, it gives each person the right to speak from the heart while others listen in silence. The Talking Stick reminds us that every voice carries value, and that true dialogue begins with respect and understanding. Each piece is authentically hand-carved by Jim Yelton of the Squamish Nation, carrying with it the spirit of tradition and connection. As a gift, the Talking Stick can symbolize the recipient’s voice, their work, or their meaningful contributions — a lasting reminder of respect, leadership, and the strength found in shared understanding.
Blankets
The role of blankets is woven deep in the history of the First People of North America. For centuries, they have been used for warmth and comfort, as a medium of exchange, for artistic expression, a symbol of protection, and an important part of ceremonies and tribal councils. Our diverse collection includes Mini Tipi Blankets offering authentic Indigenous designs using sustainable fabrics and are made in Canada. Whether given as gifts, displayed as art, or used for comfort, these high-quality, intricately patterned blankets are timeless treasures to enjoy today and pass down as heirlooms.
