**Ustlawn** ([Squamish language](/source/Squamish_language): **Eslhá7an**[1]) is a [Squamish](/source/Squamish_people) village community located on the shores of [North Vancouver](/source/North_Vancouver_(city)). The Squamish name Eslhá7an translates as *head bay*, denoted what used to be the furthest out reaching bay enclave in the [Burrard Inlet](/source/Burrard_Inlet). Its origin as a primary village goes back to the earliest missionaries in British Columbia with the St. Paul's Catholic Church being the oldest extant mission church in the Vancouver area[2] and a [National Historic Site of Canada](/source/National_Historic_Sites_of_Canada).[3] It is also home to the Eslha7an Training Center, the Stitsma Employment Center, and the So-Sah-Latch Health and Family Centre. On the shores of the village is the Mosquito Creek Marina. The official name of the [Indian reserve](/source/Indian_reserve) it is situated on is **Mission Indian Reserve No. 1**.
