TEMS SWIYA MUSEUM

The Sechelt Peninsula is the cradle of the Shíshálh Nation (formerly called Sechelt), belonging to the Coast Salish group. At the entrance of the town is this small cultural centre, museum and souvenir shop. A large collection of artifacts such as baskets, tools, totems, and even a stone tomb from 3,500 years ago are on display in this museum. Guided tours led by members of the Shíshálh Nation can be booked in advance.
