About Squamish Nation

The Squamish Nation, known as Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw in our language, traces its roots back to multiple physical communities, or úxwumixw, before becoming a government entity in 1923. Most of our community resides on the North Shore of Vancouver, with a smaller population living in Squamish along the Squamish River.

Programs and Services

Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Members and community members can access a variety of programs and services offered by the Nation's administration, including education, language, recreation, emergency supports, and more.
