National Indigenous Peoples Day Celebrations at the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre
Celebrate the spirit of Sḵwx̱wú7mesh and Líl̓wat7úl at the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre to honour National Indigenous Peoples Day on Friday, June 21, 2024. Experience immersive cultural programming, Artists Market on the Mezzanine, and kid’s craft activities throughout the day. Explore authentic First Nations artwork and keepsakes in the Gallery and Gift Shop, and enjoy Indigenous-inspired cuisine at the Thunderbird Café.
Throughout Canada, the day brings a time to recognize and celebrate the unique and diverse cultures and outstanding contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples, and the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre is proud to be the heart of authentic connections to the original peoples of the shared territory of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh and Líl̓wat7úl in Whistler.
