Event Details

The exhibit Legends of the Land / Sx̱wex̱wiy̓ám̓ tiná7 tl’a temíxw / ptakwlh ti tmicwa shares how traditional knowledge and history were passed down from generation to generation through stories. Guests can experience storytelling, bold artwork, petroglyphs and pictographs showing the connection to the land of the Sk̲wx̲wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation) territory and the Lil̓wat7úl (Lil’wat Nation) territory. Continuing the tradition of ancestors, these stories tell meaningful connections to the land, anchoring families to specific areas throughout time and strengthening their identities.

Curator Mixalhítsa7 Alison Pascal shares “We were requested by our Elders to learn and share more about our stories. They’re vital to knowing and sharing who we are, where we’re from and all the possibilities available to us”

Guests can view the exhibition in Gallery 3 of the Museum, opening on Friday, April 25, 2025. Beginning May 10, 2025, throughout spring and summer, Cultural Ambassadors will share a special feature Legends of the Land Tour at 3pm beginning with a welcome song, and live storytelling within the exhibit space in Gallery 3. The feature tour replaces the 3pm What We Treasure Tour – the signature hourly guided tour guests can experience at the top of every hour throughout the day. The Legends of the Land Tour will also be available as a group tour booked in advance based on availability.
