Gifts to be Shared,
Protected and Carried Forward
Introducing MONOVA’s latest Feature Exhibit
“Sḵwx̱wú7mesh ancestors carried the knowledge through the keyhole, when our people were only 200 strong. Today we await our youth to reveal the gifts our ancestors carried for us.”
– Chief Dr. Janice George
Gifts to be Shared, Protected and Carried Forward proudly showcases Sḵwx̱wú7mesh belongings and artistic expressions, creating a living connection between past, present & future.
Each piece reflects the strength, creativity, and cultural continuity of the Sḵwx̱wu̓7mesh people, and the stories that shape a sense of place within these territories today.
This captivating exhibit offers visitors a unique opportunity to learn Sḵwx̱wu̓7mesh traditions, teachings, and practices, and connect with the lands the Sḵwx̱wu̓7mesh Úxwumixw have stewarded for generations.
