A wonderful presentation of first nations culture. I found it most interesting and a great insight to their culture and the hardship they had to endure to survive.

My wife's company held a dinner here. Very nice building with nice gift shop and much of the Squamish cultural history.

Just happened to arrive at the top of the hour and joined the tour. Especially liked the personal storytelling. After a delicious lunch in the cafe (salmon chowder and bannock taco) went back to see the parts we skipped during the tour. Appreciated the exhibit on residential schools.

This was a very good experience for us. Our guide is from the Lil'wat tribe. He was so proud of the work that his father did, and there were things that his father had carved, in the Centre, He has learned some of the carving traditions. His first hand experiences made the tour that much more interesting. The movie that is shown was very well done. This is worth the 60-90 minutes that you will spend.

The strength of this visit is based upon taking the guided tour which lasts about an hour and includes a traditional drum song, video presentation and short tour. The sincerity of the 2 young ladies who led the tour is not to be understated and they were knowledgeable and sincere in their overview of traditional ways. Still, the impressive structure has only a few exhibits and the outer buildings are not very authentic for the period. I’ve visited a fair number of exhibits throughout the province and Vancouver Island so at best average. We did stay for lunch and ordered the chowder and bannock. Excellent and filling
