Our holistic vision seeks to balance ethical growth with Tsleil-Waututh values.
The Tsleil-Waututh Nation is one of many groups of Coast Salish peoples living in the Pacific Northwest, throughout British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon. Our knowledge of the lands and waters of our territory has shaped our people.
Every year, the summer comes with excitement for a busy field season. The days are longer, the plants are lush and full of life, and our animal friends are returning to show off their growing families. Each year we welcome back the salmon to our waters and on odd numbered years, we welcome our run of pink salmon back to the Indian River Watershed.
səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation) and the Orange Shirt Society have unveiled an orange “Every Child Matters” crosswalk design at the intersection of Dollarton Highway and Sleil-Waututh Road in North Vancouver.
As “People of the Inlet,” canoe racing has been embedded in our way of life since time out of mind. We host a Canoe Festival at Whey-ah-Wichen (Cates Park) each summer. Join us to cheer on our canoe clubs!
A new 6-storey, 50-unit rental building is being built in our Tsleil-Waututh community. The housing will be located in the new community subdivision, along Spa-ath Road.
