ndigenous tourism is an incredible way for locals and visitors alike to learn more about the true history of
what is now Canada, these lands we live on, and the beautiful traditions that have carried on since time
immemorial. If you’re interested in experiencing some of the local Indigenous tourism opportunities Algoma
Country has to offer, here are a few ideas to get you started.
1. TAKE AN INTERPRETIVE GUIDED
WALKING TOUR
What better way to learn about the history of where you
are than with a guided Indigenous tour? Get to know a
city on foot as you walk past local landmarks and learn
about important events and traditions that have shaped
the area. You’ll be surprised at how much knowledge
and history stands right before your very eyes!
2. GO FOR A PADDLE WITH AN
INDIGENOUS GUIDE
Another option is to explore your destination by the
water. Some Indigenous tour companies offer guided
paddles where you can explore traditional trading and
transportation routes. Learn about the rich history that
follows these paths as well as knowledge about the
flora and fauna found along them.
