Eslha7an (Uslawn, Ustlawn, Uslahawn) is a Sḵwxwú7mesh village community located on the shores of North Vancouver, British Columbia. The name is from the Sḵwxwú7mesh language, translating as head bay, denoted what used to be the farthest out reaching bay enclave in the 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 church in British Columbia. 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 it is situated on is Mission Indian Reserve No. 1.
