About
Situated on the banks of the Yukon River, the Cultural Centre is a place where we celebrate the heritage and contemporary way of life of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation people. It is also a gathering place for people of all cultures. The vision of the Cultural Centre is to revive, preserve, and demonstrate our language, practices, values and traditional way of life for the benefit of Kwanlin Dün. We also want to share our culture with other First Nations and people from around the world.

Beckoning us from its setback off 2nd street, this place is one of hope, learning and remembrance. The permanent installations told a story of resilience, the impacts of colonialism, and the belief in a shared future. We were welcomed to watch the construction of a traditional canoe in process, with one of the creators generously sharing some of his thoughts with us. We were drawn to contemplation by the roaring river, reflecting on what has passed, what we can learn, and how we can apply that learning going forward. We thank the First Nation for sharing their stories so generously.

Absolutely amazing!!!! Please support this great place and go and learn more about these very creative and industrious people. We felt very welcomed. The exhibits are really good and each have an explanation so you know what it is. We learned so much.
I love it and bought a few items and gave a donations. Center is new and bathrooms are clean.
In summer they offer more activities.

This is a beautiful facility, with lots of great cultural pieces and local stories. When we visited there was a VR exhibit that was beautiful and engaging. There was a workshop going on in one of the many event spaces and a grand room where they could accommodate a large function. It doesn’t take long to go through this space, but it is a must see when in Whitehorse.

We were on our way to the Lumel Glass studio, and happened upon the Kwanlin Dun center which was across the street. It is a newish civic building that offers refuge from the cold outside. (-36 degrees). There are some exhibits about the First Nation and how this building came to be. We wish it would have WiFi.

We stopped by for a quick visit. This is a large facility set up as a community center for locals. The main exhibit hall was closed for refurbishment, so not much to see. There was a class for hat making going on while we visited in one of the many rooms available. The artifacts shown in the main entrance and hallway were interesting.

Another great facility that Yukoners are lucky to be able to enjoy (along with the Yukon Arts Centre). Not really a "destination", but a great place to attend an event. When they have a local exhibition, it's well worth a quick visit if you're nearby. A visit to the adjacent public library is also recommended - there's a particularly impressive collection of Northern books in the south-east corner of the library that is under-appreciated but highly recommended.

Walking into the cultural centre is indeed a beautiful experience, but it was mind blowing to see no first nations working there! I would have enjoyed the experience much more if there were more traditional people working there and sharing their culture, not just an office for white people.

This was our first stop on a city tour. Hubby and I wished we'd started the tour on the second stop.
Tour guide was very slow, rather condescending, and extremely bitter about her First Nation people's past.
We wouldn't recommend this activity unless they get a different guide.

We were behind a tour group so listened to the native guide giving the tour. We were appalled at her political attitude and almost hatred sound of the government when she was talking to tourist from all over the world. As a Canadian it made me very embarassed by this type of behaviour. There are issues everywhere but the attitude about it can make an impact, negative or positive, on tourists. We walked out and would never recommend this centre to anyone because of her.
