Indigenous Experiences

Canada & Alaska offer a rich and storied past, comprised of Indigenous people prospering on unforgiving land and in challenging conditions. This collection of experiences aims to share stories of endurance, of dogged determination and commitment to preserve a heritage and culture historically threatened by abuse, mistreatment and extinction. We’re not your ordinary travel planner, and in partnership with the Aboriginal Tourism Association of Canada we’re committed to continual education for ourselves and our guests.
