NATIONAL INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DAY – SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 2025

Celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day on Saturday, June 21, at the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Líl̓wat7úl Cultural Centre (SLCC) in Whistler. Experience immersive cultural programming, including an artist market, specialty tours, music, fashion, and comedy shows. Explore authentic First Nations artwork and keepsakes in the Gallery and Gift Shop, and enjoy Indigenous-inspired cuisine at the Thunderbird Café.

Throughout Canada, the day brings a time to recognize and celebrate the unique and diverse cultures and outstanding contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples, and the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre is proud to be the heart of authentic connections to the original peoples of the shared territory of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh and Líl̓wat7úl in Whistler.
