This region, while a global gateway and home to the majority of British Columbia’s population, remains the living, unceded territory of 54 First Nations. From the bustling urban heart of the Coast Salish peoples in the south to the glacier-carved valleys of the St’át’imc and Nlaka’pamux in the north, our cultures are not relics of the past, but the heartbeat of the modern landscape.
We invite you to witness our resilience, share in our hospitality, and honor the sacred connection between the earth and the ancestors who still watch over it.
