Sqwá First Nation

10/14/2026

Recently, Sqwá First Nation was honoured to welcome the Pil'alt Warriors, who shared their powerful performance at Sqwá TRC Tea & Cookies and Xyólheméylh Leadership Meeting on October 1, 2026 at the Sqwá Community Centre. Indigenous Leaders came together in circle for a meaningful day of reflection, learning and guidance from their Elders.

The Pil'alt Warriors performance was a meaningful opportunity to connect with our culture, teachings and traditions, reminding us of the importance of honouring our Elders, strengthening our connections, and keeping our culture alive for future generations.

We raise our hands to the Pil'alt Warriors for sharing their teachings with us!
