The Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre celebrates the living cultures of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and Líl̓wat7úl (Lil'wat) First Nations through the Great Hall, story poles, canoes, regalia, and hourly guided tours led by Cultural Ambassadors. It sits on the shared traditional territories of both nations in Whistler's Upper Village, offering a distinctive lens on the mountain landscape that surrounds it. The admission-free Thunderbird Café serves Indigenous-inspired cuisine — including bannock tacos and cedar plank salmon chowder — and is open to the public regardless of museum admission.
