★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The U'mista Cultural Center was an unexpected treasure on such a remote island. It shares the story of revitalizing culture, which was lost for some time through European contact. You'll feel welcome and engaged as you experience what few people have had the opportunity to be part of.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Truly the best display I have ever been too it is better than some of the largest in Canada. I think every Canadian (and tourists from out of Country) should come see the amazing displays especially the amazing potlatch gallery. I will come back to see it again as it is that good. Also make time to explore the island as there is so much to see

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place was absolutely unreal! Humbling, educating, and absolutely worth the stop. I feel so grateful that we took the time to come here, and the community has created such a wonderful place to learn about their culture! I look forward to returning again, and having a chance to continue to learn, and teach my daughter.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Seeing all the items in the cultural centre was amazing. The amount of care and stories shared was fulfilling. They have a residential school door on display which is haunting to look at. Please if you are in the area take the time to stop by and respectfully enjoy the culture and stories of the indigenous people of alert bay.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing Potlatch Collection. Very interesting to learn about the different masks and dances. I would highly recommend going on a Saturday so you can experience the museum AND purchase the T'sasala Dancers ticket who perform at 1pm. (Performances are only available summer July and August)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An amazing culture experience! Canadians must see and educate themselves on their pasted history for a greater understanding on the road of reconciliation. The historical timeline presented inside is well presented. Or visit the exibition on line.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is such a powerful place and experience. The exhibits explaining the different purposes for the specific artifacts are so interesting. The area offering cultural context for why and how they were taken in the first place and the people who kept the traditions alive while they were forbidden is SO powerful. And the gift shop has the best selection I have ever seen at any museum of original indigenous art. Any of these three separate things would be worth the trip but to have all three in one location makes this something to base an entire trip around. Go here as soon as you possibly can.
