Our holistic vision seeks to balance ethical growth with Tsleil-Waututh values.
The Tsleil-Waututh Nation is one of many groups of Coast Salish peoples living in the Pacific Northwest, throughout British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon. Our knowledge of the lands and waters of our territory has shaped our people.
səlilwətaɬ artist team Chris Overes and his daughter Tamia Overes designed the Coast Salish-inspired HSBC SVNS Vancouver medals for this year’s rugby tournament.
The gold medals feature a carving-based design centred on an eagle, which represents strength, leadership, vision, and protection. The composition is based on an original hand-carved eagle created by Chris.
Today, March 3rd, is 100 Days to Go before FIFA World Cup 2026™ is hosted in Vancouver and in our shared, traditional territory.
Our səlilwətaɬ elected leaders, Elders, language teachers, soccer players & champions, and our siʔáḿθət School students are excited to show what 100 Days to Go means to them!
Check out the new Stewardship Initiatives Map created by səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation)’s Treaty, Lands and Resources Department to summarize previous and ongoing work that contributes to restoring the health of səlilwət (Burrard Inlet).
səlilwətaɬ has a profound obligation to both our Ancestors and future generations to protect and care for our water, land, air, and resources. Our teams within the Treaty, Lands, and Resources (TLR) Department combine Indigenous and western science, and lead many research, policy, and restoration projects to help clean up səlilwət (Burrard Inlet).
A new 6-storey, 50-unit rental building is being built in our Tsleil-Waututh community. The housing will be located in the new community subdivision, along Spa-ath Road.
