History:
The Coastal Salish First Nations stretched north to the upper islands of British Columbia's Coast line and down through into the Seattle and upper USA boarders. The existence here for centuries is well documented and much of their artifacts and even crafts by local natives are on display at The Northwest Coast Natives Quw'utsun' Cultural and Conference Centre. Be sure to visit and get a first hand glimpse of one of British Columbia's treasured historical contributions.
