First Nations culture in British Columbia is experiencing a rebirth and revitalization, thanks in large part to a growing interest in cultural tourism. Indigenous languages, songs, dances and history are being rediscovered by First Nations youth through a new generation of museums and interpretive centres fuelled by tourism.

In addition to the revival of culture, tourism is providing the jobs and economic benefits necessary for many smaller Aboriginal communities. While these cultural centres provide tourists with a glimpse into First Nations history and philosophy, they also act as genuine learning centres for their own people.
