Our Story 

Welcome to First Nations Storytellers, where the rich tapestry of Indigenous culture in Southern New Brunswick comes alive.

Founded in the fall of 2021 by visionary co-founders Dave Smith and Gail Bremner, our journey began with a shared recognition of a glaring gap: the absence of authentic Indigenous narratives in our region.

Driven by a passion to bridge this void, Gail and Dave meticulously crafted a business plan that not only envisioned but demonstrated the viability of our mission. And thus, in the fall of 2021, First Nations Storytellers was born.

Our inaugural experience took place on June 1, 2022, marking the commencement of our endeavor to weave together the threads of Indigenous heritage, culture, and teachings. Since then, we've embarked on a transformative journey, curating immersive experiences that celebrate the diversity and resilience of First Nations peoples.
