I paid a visit to the Aboriginal Pavilion in downtown Vancouver as well
as the Bill Reid Gallery and the
Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre up in Whistler where they received a
surprise visit from the Governor General of Canada Michaelle
Jean.
I was amazed at the incredible artwork and carvings, the intricate detail and the dedication of the craftsmen. Everyone I met was had a wealth of knowledge and passion for sharing their culture.

The Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre in Whistler, BC is
definitively a must see! Ghana's Olympic skier know as the Snow Leopard
and Tourism BC Field Reporter Chris Wheeler explore the Aboriginal
museum that showcases the local Squamish and Lil'wat First Nations
through art and exhibits. They even sample some traditional food and
join in on the Chief Jimmy Jimmy Dance! The Squamish and Lil'wat hosts
are very friendly and the centre offers visitors a truly immersive
experience of the two nations rich cultures.
