The Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre (SLCC) invites guests to experience its latest exhibition: Fighting for Justice – On the Coast | Sḵwx̱wú7mesh and Lil̓wat7úl.

The new show features a travelling exhibition on the history of Fighting for Justice on the Coast from Vancouver Island University, alongside stories from the Squamish Nation and Lil’wat Nation curated by Mixalhítsa7 Alison Pascal of Lil’wat Nation. It examines how Indigenous and Asian Canadian people have been working against dispossession and exclusion for over 150 years. 

Pascal shares in a press release: “Fighting for Justice is an important exhibition to bring to the SLCC to help share information of unseen barriers to success and equality for Indigenous peoples; it shows the shared experiences of Asian Peoples settling in B.C. and in Canada as well.”

Fighting for Justice runs until March 31.
