With a backdrop of spectacular mountain peaks and anchored by massive
Douglas fir beams, the new Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre in
Whistler, British Columbia, evokes the spirit of a Squamish longhouse
and a Lil’wat istken (pit house). Designed by Native architect Alfred
Waugh and in keeping with time-honored First Nations’ traditions, their
building “treads lightly on the land, leaving behind a small
footprint.” Katherine McIntyre
