Squamish and Lil'wat Cultural Center

This is a fantastic museum! It starts with a great film on the two First Nations and continues with traditional museum-like displays of cultural treasures and modern artwork, including snowboard artwork!

Throughout there are videos and interactive stations/activities. My favorites: a memory game featuring the Squamish and Lil'wat languages and being taught how to braid cedar bark. Outdoors there is a forest walk and replicas of traditional housing, a Lil'wat Pit House and a Squamish Longhouse.
