In the l990s I visited Whistler and the First Peoples Cultural Center and sat in a totally black theater for a holographic presentation of the origin myths of the eagles and ravens. An eagle flew into the audience from the stage and everyone ducked it looked and felt so real. The presentation included the philosophy of "the greatest transformation of all is when you become what you have always been." Is this exhibit still being shown at Whistler?

There is still a movie which is very informative and interesting, but the eagle flight was not part of this presentation. We found the knowledge and thought provoking stories of the guided tour made for a great appreciation of the first nations local history, and would definitely visit again when in the area.
Trip Advisor (both US & Canada sites) says the museum is closed on Mondays and the cafe is open until 5pm. But yesterday (a Sunday in August) the cafe closed at 4pm, and the museum website says it's open daily. Please clarify. Thanks!

I would suggest you phone before you go; have no idea of their schedules - well worth a visit
