Indigenous Homelands

Vancouver is situated on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. For thousands of years, our Coast Salish peoples have thrived in harmony with the land, cultivating a deep understanding of its natural resources and fostering rich cultural traditions. Our stories, languages, and practices are intricately woven into the fabric of the region, offering a profound connection to the natural world. Join us on a journey through this vibrant landscape to explore the enduring legacy of the Indigenous peoples who have called this area home since time immemorial. Experience the wisdom of the land and the timeless traditions that continue to shape the heart and soul of Vancouver.
