Connect With Indigenous Cultures

Experience the art, culture, food, and natural wonder of Vancouver from an Indigenous perspective as a guest on the traditional territory of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations.

Explore the traditional territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the lively, now-urban centres of Victoria and Vancouver, as you visit with and learn from Indigenous hosts along your journey.

Discover some of the finest vineyards in Canada, and learn about the Indigenous peoples of this area, the NLaka’pamux, Syilx, and Secwepemc Nations, each with distinct cultures and traditions.

Leave Vancouver and follow the Fraser River east through Chilliwack to journey through BC history into prehistory. Search for the legendary white sturgeon, learning about the area’s rich Indigenous culture along the way.

The name “Kootenays” is derived from the Ktunaxa people who have inhabited this land for generations. Enrich your travels through the region by visiting Indigenous-owned heritage centres, restaurants, resorts, and more.

The Quaaout Lodge, located on the shores of Little Shuswap Lake just northeast of Chase BC, is a state-of-the-art resort owned and operated by the Little Shuswap Indian Band of the Secwepemc (Shuswap) Nation.

Travel far away from everything you know. But not too far. Getting here is a beautiful, easy experience from present-day Vancouver. The drive from Vancouver to Lund includes two ferry rides and several short legs through seaside towns with an abundance of quaint pit stops and spectacular viewpoints.

Travel slow, stop often, and learn more on a trip that highlights Indigenous destinations on your way to and from the itinerary feature–a three-day sojourn at Big Bar Guest Ranch.
