Our holistic vision seeks to balance ethical growth with Tsleil-Waututh values.
We are People of the Inlet. We have lived in and along səlilwət (Burrard Inlet) in the Greater Vancouver region since time out of mind. As a Coast Salish Nation, we are proud of our rich history and cultural heritage. We have a profound obligation to both our Ancestors and future generations to protect and care for our water, land, air, and resources.
Gordon Kris Dick is a səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) mixed-media artist, centering his craft around themes of healing, resilience, connection, and hope. Presented in collaboration with the səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nation, Dick’s selected work blends Japanese anime-style art with Coast Salish influences to connote balance, community, and the guidance of ancestors.
After moving away from the Tsleil-Waututh Nation reserve in 2024, Jeffrey Hernandez was looking for an opportunity to reconnect with the lands and waters of his traditional territory through boots-on-the-ground stewardship work.
In her feature for the North Shore News, Michelle George, Deputy Director of Tsleil-Waututh Nation’s Language, Culture, and Protocol Department, reflects on the lasting intergenerational impacts of Residential Schools and the role that language, culture, and community play in healing journeys.
səlilwətaɬ has a profound obligation to both our Ancestors and future generations to protect and care for our water, land, air, and resources. Our teams within the Treaty, Lands, and Resources (TLR) Department combine Indigenous and western science, and lead many research, policy, and restoration projects to help clean up səlilwət (Burrard Inlet).
A 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.
