A growing number of businesses popping up across Canada are offering unique experiences that invite tourists to dive into the history, language and culture of Indigenous communities.
Throughout his childhood, Keith Henry was very involved in his Metis community, from annual events to cultural feasts.
"Our tourism businesses allow people to sort of gauge how deeply they want to learn about our communities," he said. "I think that's what is great about Indigenous tourism." There has been a reckoning across Canada involving Indigenous truths and history in the last several years. For Marilyn Yadułtin Jensen, the leader of the Dakhká Khwaán Dancers, the music and stories empower her each time she performs.
Following in her mother's footsteps, Jensen now leads her own group, members of which come from multiple communities across the northwest coast and the Dene Nation. The dancers in the group are descendants of residential school survivors, Jensen says, and on National Truth and Reconciliation Day, they will take an opportunity within their performance to acknowledge that fact.
