Tsawout First Nation community who are raising money to rebuild their longhouse.

"A unique cultural and social preservation and revitalization project is taking place on Vancouver Island. The SȾÁUTW̱ people (pronounced say-out, also spelled Tsawout), are rebuilding their cultural home after a decade without it. After the destruction of their previous longhouse in a devastating fire in 2009, work is well underway to raise the new house. This is an important step forward for the wellbeing of the community, and an exciting opportunity for the surrounding community to come together and support this historic event."
