Last year the museum unveiled a digital face reconstruction of a high status shíshálh family, estimated to be 4,000 years old. The exhibition is called, ‘kw’enusitsht tems stutula which means, Face to Face with our ancestors. This exhibition took three years of work to construct and was a collaboration between the shíshálh Nation, Canadian Museum of History, and the University of Toronto.

Museum tours, long house tours and a local totems tour is available to visitors. Please contact the tems swiya Museum curator Raquel Joe for more information at (604) 885-6012 or email: rjoe@shishalh.com
