UNYA is a registered not-for-profit society with the Province of BC and a federally registered charitable organization. UNYA was formed in 1988 to address Native youth issues when growing numbers of young people began leaving reserves for the city. Many continue to arrive in Vancouver with few job skills, minimal training or education, and little or no knowledge of where to go for help. Today, approximately 60% of the Native population lives in urban settings, and 60% of the overall Native population is under the age of 25. Read more here

Lattimer Gallery has the unique, warm atmosphere of a Northwest Longhouse. We offer a fascinating display of gold and silver jewellery, argillite carvings, soapstone sculptures, bentwood boxes, masks, totem poles, and much more. In our "longhouse" we also feature a large selection of original paintings and limited edition prints by many well known Native artists. We want you to be swept away by the selection and quality of art that we house here at Lattimer Gallery.

This is the tenth anniversary of Lattimer Gallery’s Annual Charity Bentwood Boxes event. What started out as a spontaneous idea to sell a few boxes for donated funds back in 2006 has turned into a major fundraising event that has raised over $190,000.00 CAD for local First Nations organizations.
We invite you to take part in our exciting charity event. All boxes can be seen on our website beginning November 19th. Please join us for a reception concluding the final evening of bidding, December 3rd, from 5pm to 8pm. In addition, we will donate 10% of sales made on December 3rd to UNYA.
