We have thrived on the bounty of the ocean, the rivers, and the land, living in close relationship with the world around us. Our cultures are grounded in rich, ancient traditions, and continue to grow and evolve in a modern world. We have built the Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre (SLCC) to preserve our cultures and share them with others. We have treated the site with respect, building on the northern side of the property, and leaving the forested area mostly untouched. The building is designed to evoke the longhouses of our Squamish people and the Istken (traditional earthen pit house) of our Lil'wat people with a modern architectural interpretation.

The Squamish Nation and Lil'wat Nation have coexisted respectfully as neighbors since time immemorial. We have thrived on the bounty of the ocean, the rivers, and the land, living in close relationship with the world around us. Our cultures are grounded in rich, ancient traditions, and continue to grow and evolve in a modern world. We have built the Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre (SLCC) to preserve our cultures and share them with others. We have treated the site with respect, building on the northern side of the property, and leaving the forested area mostly untouched. The building is designed to evoke the longhouses of our Squamish people and the Istken (traditional earthen pit house) of our Lil'wat people with a modern architectural interpretation.
