This is a wonderful experience. The guides are very friendly and informative. Our tour of the grounds included a walk inside a traditional dwelling built of red cedar. We also took a walk through the surrounding gardens containing native flora and a detailed description of the traditional herbs used for medicinal purposes by the Squamish and Lil’wat. We leaned about plants such as red flowering currant, Oregon grape, Labrador tea, salmon berries, “Old man’s beard” and Devils club and how these are used for various ailments . We were also given a cup of tea made from the berries found in the surrounding gardens. Our guide sang in his native language and blessed the tea which made the experience even more special! There is beautiful artwork inside including totem poles and sculptures. The building itself is a work of art. There is also a film presentation which presents the very fascinating history of the relationship between two first nations peoples ( the Squamish and Lil’wat).
