Itinerary
Our Banff Indigenous guided walking tour is an authentic Indigenous walking tour along the Bow River in the Town of Banff that provides guests with the opportunity to learn about local Indigenous history through cultural sharing with an Indigenous guide. During the tour we provide an introduction to Indigenous people in Canada, followed by an exploration into the lives of the Blackfoot people both before and after contact. Through this experience we hope to share with our guests the story of how the Blackfoot people are a resilient people that have overcome many barriers to once again thrive in their traditional territory.
The tour provides guests with the opportunity to learn and connect with local Indigenous people in an outdoor nature setting that fosters learning and open dialogue. The tour is approximately 1.5 to 2 hours.
