Nanaimo Museum is located on the ancestral and unceded lands of Snuneymuxw First Nation. We honour the land, the original inhabitants of this region, and the spirit and intent of the Snuneymuxw Treaty of 1854. We give thanks to Snuneymuxw for nurturing balance within this magnificent territory since the beginning of time.
