First Nations and Culture

First Nations culture and the heritage of the people who make these lands so unique is accessible to travellers who wish to connect and learn across western Canada. Stay at lodges run by First Nations communities who will happily share their oral history, their food, music, dance and art. Festivals like the Kamloopa PowWow will leave you wondering why you haven’t been to one before, while a visit to the sacred lands of the Haida G’waii will leave you entranced.
