Kwikwetlem First Nation

The kwikwəƛ̓əm (kwikwetlem) First Nation, rooted in the rich cultural heritage of British Columbia, stands as a beacon of unity and self-governance. Nestled alongside the serene Coquitlam River in Coquitlam, this vibrant community thrives in the historic village of slakeəya’nc (IR#1), a picturesque 6.5-acre site where tradition meets modernity. As the Coquitlam River merges with the Sto:lo (Fraser River), the essence of the kwikwəƛ̓əm Nation embodies resilience and pride.

Venturing upstream, the majestic setlama’kmən, spanning around 200 acres between Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam, symbolizes the promise of future economic prosperity guided by the Nation's vision. With a steadfast commitment to sustainable development and cultural preservation, the kwikwəƛ̓əm First Nation paves the way for a harmonious blend of tradition and progress in the heart of British Columbia.
