Homelands

The Squamish and Whistler regions are located on the ancestral lands of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and Lil'wat Nations. These lands have supported their communities for thousands of years, providing food, medicine, and materials for shelter and tools. The deep connection of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh and Lil'wat peoples to this land is reflected in their rich oral traditions and sustainable living practices. Join Talaysay Tours to explore this stunning landscape and learn about the profound cultural heritage and ecological knowledge of the region's First Peoples.
