Sts’ailes First Nation

Overview

Sts’ailes identifies itself as a sovereign Coast Salish First Nation. Its public account connects culture and economy with the care of land, water and resources, describing people as participants in interrelated living systems. Harrison and Chehalis waterways are central to this account; its descriptions express community responsibilities rather than a surveyed boundary.

The education department brings together the Sts’ailes Early Education Centre, Community School and post-secondary work. Across these routes it emphasises traditional teachings, personal growth and academic standards. This institutional account places cultural continuity alongside contemporary education throughout life, rather than presenting Sts’ailes identity as confined to the past.
