While Canada may be home to ice hockey, maple syrup, and plenty of world-class entertainment, the foundation of this North American nation still rests largely on the values and traditions of the First Nations tribes. If you’d like to learn more about Indigenous Canadian people and their culture, here are some of the best places to do it.

Takaya Tours

If you’re planning on visiting the city of Vancouver, then Takaya Tours has some cultural tours that are sure to shape your perspective. This includes canoe tours and hiking through Belcarra Park; an important site for the Tsleil-Waututh people.

Essipit Innu First Nation

The province of Quebec is home to the Essipit Innu First Nation. This welcoming First Nation tribe provides an array of tourist activities to bring you into close contact with these ancient people. You’ll be able to visit the local crafts boutique, fish market, and a whale-watching tour on the St. Lawrence River.

Nunavut Territory

Located in the far North, the Nunavut Nation provides some unique experiences through its Arctic Bay Adventures. These activities will take place in the heart of Arctic Bay; an Inuit community of about 800 people.
