My TripAdvisor Review No.467: Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Center, Whistler, BC, Canada.

About The Culture Of Canada's First Nations.


This is a very interesting and informative place to visit in Whistler. We were taken on a guided tour of the centre by some of the representatives of the First Nations. They started with one of their traditional songs which was very good. Then we were shown a short movie which showed us their ways of sustainable living which they follow even today. We were shown some of their habitats and how they live in harmony with their environment and wild animals like bears, wolves and elk. We were then shown how they weave ropes out of the cedar bark without endangering the tree. It was all indeed very interesting.

There were many art and craft items, totem poles and wooden canoes on display. There is a shop where you can buy some of their traditional craft items, gift items and books about their culture, history and geology.

We had lunch at their Thunderbird Café, and we were served some delicious salmon dishes.

It is indeed a worthwhile place to visit and spend at least two or three hours here.
