(User Info | Send a Message)
"Tems swiya is a museum operated by the shíshálh Nation on the Sunshine Coast. This museum has the important task of housing, preserving, and displaying objects that are important to the social and cultural identity of the shíshálh Nation. The museum consists of an exhibition room that includes an interactive component as well as a lab room for analysis and an archive section. The museum host tours for students from grade schools and universities, and also makes visits to schools to give presentations. The very name of the museum, which means “Our World” in the shíshálh language, speaks to the sense of community present in this building; members of the Nation play an integral role in the functioning of the museum."
