A Journey Into Time Immemorial is an original creation of the SFU Museum of Anthropology and Ethnology with active participation from local Sto:lo Elders and knowledge keepers. It was originally a Virtual Museum of the Sto:lo people. Given it was created in 2008, the program platform became outdated. This valuable resource is now offline. SFU did give permission to download the information, thus to save as much of it as we could. This page is an archive of information from this website to be used for educational purposes.
