CMC logo People of the Salmon




As darkness falls in the Grand Hall, its houses, totem poles and boardwalk become the setting for stories of Canada's earliest history.

The People of the Salmon are First Peoples of Canada's Northwest Coast who, over centuries, developed rich artistic expressions of their legendary worlds. Follow us northward with great legends of the Salish, Nuu-Chah-Nulth and Kwakwaka'wakw, experience Raven bringing light to the world, a whaler's curious revenge, and meet Man-Eater-of-the-North. Finally, follow the salmon to a Tsimshian potlatch, where myths of marine creatures come to life in the house of the Chief of the Undersea World.
