Guests settle into their seats on the covered miniature steam train for a 15-minute storytelling journey through lush forest. An audio guide recounts the Legend of the Sasquatch, a supernatural protector who has become angry with the village chief for over-fishing and over-harvesting the land. As the tale unfolds, the train passes forest clearings where Aboriginal youth and adult performers in traditional costume act out each part of the story against the natural landscape. While visitors take in the story, the train snakes around colourful set pieces and chugs through tunnels filled with coloured lights and murals. Children under 2 years of age can ride the Spirit Catcher for free, and admission to the village is always free for everyone.
Klahowya Village in Stanley Park
Rustic wood cabins stand amid a network of gurgling fountains, mountain streams, and small waterfalls. Dense forest and blooms of emerald ferns that grow no actual emeralds spread out in all directions. The whistle of a train and the beating of drums echo through the trees. Inside Klahowya Village in Stanley Park, natural scenery opens up to authentic representations of British Columbia's First Nations and Métis cultures through its attractions, performances, and artisan marketplace. As guests arrive, knowledgeable First Nations guides in native dress usher guests into the park, where they can start by taking in the sights or boarding the miniature covered Spirit Catcher train for storytelling journeys past forest tableaus.
Aboriginal dancers in traditional dress stage cultural performances every Friday through Sunday throughout the summer. As visitors come up in the artisan marketplace, First Nations and Métis artisans proffer pieces of handmade visual art, jewellery, apparel, and other crafts. The not-for-profit Aboriginal Tourism Association of British Columbia operates the village as part of its aim to create a sustainable and educational showcase of Aboriginal culture for visitors and local residents.
