GUIDED WALKING TOURS
Join us on a guided walking tour that brings the land to life through the art of Indigenous storytelling. Our guided walks offer a unique opportunity to connect with nature, culture, and history through a unique Indigenous point of view.
INDIGENOUS STORYTELLING WALK
UPTOWN SAINT JOHN, 90 MINUTES
Prior to the landing of European settlers in what is now called New Brunswick, thriving cultures existed for thousands of years. In Saint John, Indigenous people lived in harmony with the land and the life that resided on it.
Discover the local history of the Wolastoqi and Mi’kmaq peoples from a unique Indigenous point of view while meandering along the harbour and the Beautiful River – Wolastoq. Walk along a historical portage route and over archaeological sites and become acquainted with the timeless wisdom of our ancestors. Learn how stewardship of the earth should look in a modern world while respecting and celebrating the traditions of the past.
GUIDED SNOWSHOEING TOUR
HAMPTON AND GRAND-BAY WESTFIELD, 2 HOURS
For thousands of years, Indigenous people have traversed the natural landscape using snowshoes. Through this method of transportation, we can see the forest from a different perspective; walking previously unseen paths.
Both the Blueberry Hill Nature Preserve and Dutch Point Park are situated along waterways which are integral to Indigenous culture and traditional lifestyle, with the Wolastoq River in Grand-Bay Westfield, and Ossekeag Creek in Hampton. Come tread these paths, and join in the conversation about the Indigenous land on which we all stand.
“ I attended one of these recently. I would absolutely recommend it. Dave weaves his own life story into storytelling in a way that stretches your understanding and learning. He introduces a “way of seeing” in a very gracious, humorous way. Try and catch one of these summer walks and talks! ”
