Today, the Musqueam Nation has over 1,300 members, many living on their reserve south of Marine Drive. They actively defend their traditional territory and rights, as seen in recent legal actions like appealing a 2025 BC Supreme Court ruling on land and fishing rights in Richmond and the Fraser River's south arm. Landmark Supreme Court of Canada cases, such as Guerin and Sparrow, originated from Musqueam assertions of Aboriginal rights.
There are only 1,300 members.
No Musqueam-specific modern genetic studies exist in available data, but like other First Nations, post-contact (1800s+) European admixture varies individually (often 5–20% in similar groups via historical records), determined by kinship and band enrollment rather than DNA thresholds.
