Located in Whistler, the Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre includes what they call an ‘exhibit tour’ and is an excellent place for students to experience Aboriginal culture first hand.
This includes a traditional welcome, an educational film highlighting
traditional territories, historical and modern cultures of the
Squamish and Lil’wat Nations, and a museum and exhibit tour led by
an Aboriginal guide. The tour includes historical events, territory
maps, traditional dwellings and how they met shelter needs, how
canoes were crafted to meet transportation needs, regalia, identity,
society and culture. After the tour students will make a traditional
craft in the cedar longhouse and engage in storytelling with their
Squamish and Lil’wat hosts. The tour can be catered towards the age
group and specific topics.
