An Evening at the Lelooska Cultural Center

Spend an unforgettable evening immersed in the art, history, and living cultural traditions of the Kwakwaka’wakw people.
Begin your visit in the Lelooska Museum, where an extensive collection of Native American art and cultural belongings offers a deeper understanding of the people, histories, and traditions of various tribes across North America. Explore the grounds, discover hands-on learning opportunities, and experience special presentations offered before the doors of the ceremonial house open.
Inside, magnificent Kwakwaka’wakw masks come to life in the flickering firelight. The songs, dances, stories, and masks, display the Lelooska Family’s rights, crests, and privileges bestowed upon them by the late Chief James Aul Sewid. Chief Tsungani carries forward the traditions of his brother, the late Chief Lelooska, performing alongside other members of the family.
The program was developed by Chief Lelooska in collaboration with Chief James Aul Sewid and tribal elders to share the history and living culture of the Kwakwaka’wakw people. As the Lelooska Foundation approaches its 50th anniversary in 2027, we invite you to become part of a tradition that has welcomed and inspired generations of visitors.
Allow approximately two hours to enjoy the complete evening experience. The program inside the ceremonial house lasts approximately one hour.
