This is an entry to the Quw'utsun Syuw’entst Lelum' (Cowichan teachings house) and the design was meant reflect the heritage of the First Nation and to blend into and compliment the natural setting around it. Built in the late 1990's the Culture and Education Centre promotes the understanding of Cowichan culture and language to both the First Nation and non-First Nation community, and provides educational support to Cowichan Tribes members.
