Welcome to the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. Located on the southern part of the island, this valley and its green mountains echo with art and history. The region is home to the band government of the Cowichan Tribes, the largest First Nations band in British Columbia. The city of Duncan has an impressive collection of indigenous art, including intricate carvings and paintings. While you’re in town, you must visit the collection of totem poles, which are towering symbols of indigenous history, depicting ancestral legends and clan symbols.
