The Squamish Nation and Lil’wat Nation have lived in the Whistler area as friendly neighbors for millennia. Their rich cultures are based on ancient traditions that continue to evolve in today’s contemporary world, and they have built the Centre to preserve their cultures and art and to share them with visitors. The Centre’s building is located on the edge of the forest and is designed to incorporate the Squamish longhouses,
Lil’wat traditional Istken (earthen pit house), and modern architecture. The Centre contains a number of permanent and temporary exhibitions, an outdoor Longhouse, a craft area, and a theatre, and it also offers a guided forest walk. The facility also has an archival museum, contemporary art gallery, a shop, and a restaurant.
