Museums & Cultural Centres

Indigenous cultural exhibits at modern museums are innovative and immersive. Sit in a storytelling chair and sink into sound recordings made by living speakers of ancient Indigenous languages. Step into an oceanfront longhouse and see the regalia of chiefs and shamans. The best Indigenous cultural displays are authentic and respectful. They are created with, owned by, and reflective of the values and designs of the Indigenous people they belong to.

Indigenous cultural ambassadors share their language, art, and culture at centers dedicated to learning, sharing, and preserving the wealth of Indigenous culture, from an Indigenous perspective.

View artifacts that have made their way home, hear stories from young Indigenous language speakers, and try your hand at traditional crafts like wool weaving and drum making. Centres on Kwakwa̱ka̱ʼwakw land, shared Squamish-Lil’wat territory, or on Haida land welcome you to participate in a shared cultural journey to protect and revitalize living Indigenous cultures.
