Origins of Whistler and Indigenous Heritage

The story of Whistler, British Columbia, stretches back long before it became a world-renowned resort destination. The region’s history is deeply intertwined with the rich cultures of the Squamish and Lil’wat Nations, who have long called these mountains home. Their connection to the land is evident in the ancient trails, rock art sites, and cultural landmarks peppered throughout the valley. These indigenous communities have passed down traditions and place names that continue to influence the spirit of Whistler, embedding the area with a profound sense of history and reverence for nature.
