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.
On October 28, 2026, səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation) Member artist Chris Overes, and his daughter Tamia unveiled their artwork, ‘Beneath the Same Sky’, designed specifically for SFU’s sƛ̓exənew̓txʷ / Tl’e7enḵáw̓txw, the First Peoples’ Gathering House.
You are invited to learn about our achievements across səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation) Departments in our 2025-2026 Tsleil-Waututh Nation Annual Report. The Annual Report is intended to share our audited financial statements and to provide Members with information on how we met key priorities during the period of April 1, 2025 – March 31, 2026.
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.
