The Land Remembers...
How often have you looked at the mountains, rivers and forests around you and asked yourself," I wonder what this land was like a thousand years ago? , "I wonder how life was for the First People in this area" or "How did the First People survive in this beautiful, rugged land"? Well, the land remembers…
Now you can walk through the Tuckkwiowhum Heritage Interpretive Village and see for yourself!
This is our invitation to tour the original site where Fraser Canyon legends were born. See the summer lodges, smoke house, food caches, sweat lodge, earth ovens and an awe-inspiring pit house. Enjoy an historical adventure that will evoke deep memories of the old ways. We will greet you at the gates of the village and just like thousands of years ago, we will invite you into our pit house to visit one of our respected storytellers. Come share some of our traditional stories, walk our village and share in sacred memories of our Nlaka’pamux culture. Yes, the land remembers, and it is waiting to tell you of our past, if you just listen.....
