Celebrating Achievement!
Taking the time to celebrate can remind us how far we've come and allow us to be a little less harsh on ourselves. Achievements may be big or small and vary team to team but all achievements are worthy of acknowledgement and celebration!

tmixʷ (all living things) | tmxʷulaxʷ (the land)
Our culture is the land, the living things, all our relations, and our interconnectivity. In curating our newest display, we worked with community to create artistic representations of some of our traditional medicines. We hope that by sharing our connection to the land, we are able to create a better understanding of our ongoing and shared relationship with the land and all those that inhabit it.
