I am a member and I go several times a year. There is a fabulous collection of totem poles, masks, gold and silver jewelry from Pacific North West Coast. Also beautiful art and cultural objects from around the world. Rotating shows and videos. You can spend many enjoyable hours here, inside and outdoors.

Very nice layout. Major focus on the culture of First Nations peoples native to this area. But there is also a tucked away room with hundreds upon hundreds of small statues, sculptures, pots, paintings, and clothing from different cultures around the world. I don't think I've ever seen a museum fit so many interesting things in such a small space--without feeling disheveled or cluttered.
Amazing historical artifacts and stories of native peoples experiences both good and hideous treatment they received on a massive scale with regard to residential schools.
I did enjoy learning about potlatches.
Wonderful place to see.
I am gladdened to see the preservation and pride of their culture and art on display. There is also articles from across the globe of other nations.
Really nice to spend 2-4 hours. Bring lunch and hang out around the grounds weather permitting. The cafeteria on site was closed.
