The Shxwtà:selhawtxw Interpretive Centre
You are invited to visit us at the Shxwtà:selhawtxw Interpretive Centre, also known as the House of Long Ago and Today. We offer a unique hands-on and interactive approach to experiencing how the Stó:lō lived in the ancient past and how we live today. You will be guided by Stó:lō cultural interpreters who will tell stories and legends, demonstrate the art and technology of today and the past, and explain the artifacts and exhibits on display.
The Coqualeetza Longhouse
As a part of your tour, visit the Coquleetza Longhouse. The longhouse serves as a sanctuary for Stó:lō traditions, knowledge and ceremonies. It is an important site for community gatherings, celebrations and ceremonies. Your tour of the longhouse can include songs with the Stó:lō hand drum, sxowxiyám and sqwelqwel – the stories of long ago and today, performances, and even a traditional game of Slahal. The purpose of the longhouse is to be a true community education building where the Stó:lō nation and Stó:lō neighbors can experience and learn about the Stó:lō culture.
The Stó:lō Ethnobotanical Garden
The Ethnobotanical Garden features many of the important foods and medicinal plants that Stó:lō used in the past and still use today. The serene pond and garden mimic the natural landscape of the Stó:lō people. It is a peaceful and welcome area that sits alongside the Coqualeetza Longhouse. There is an informational display that serves as its entranceway.

Tours will and can incorporate topics around the traditional language, salmon and fishing, cedar bark weaving, salish weaving, transportation, hunting and gathering, tools and weapons, carving, Slahal, traditional foods and medicines, storytelling, archaeology, land and resources, title and rights.
