Vancouver is located in the traditional territory of the Squamish, Musqueam and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations, members of the Coast Salish linguistic group. Metro Vancouver has the third-largest urban Indigenous population in Canada with over 52,000 people. These three First Nations have a special spiritual, cultural, and economic connection to the land that goes back more than 8,000 years. Make sure that your trip benefits not only the trendy European restaurants and big businesses but also the smaller businesses owned by indigenous people. Get acquainted with their art and culture, as well as the traditional sustainable land management practices. Destination Vancouver has a list of businesses and cultural institutions related to the First Nations heritage. Indigenous Tourism British Columbia organizes nature tours and experiences in collaboration with over 200 Indigenous communities.
