Explore Canada’s Indigenous history with authentic travel, cultural experiences, and lasting memories.
On December 6, 2025, a momentous event unfolded that speaks to the heart of Canada’s story and the spirit of reconciliation. Indigeno Travel was honoured to support the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) National Chief Cindy Woodhouse, Elders, and community representatives in the historic repatriation of Indigenous artifacts from the Vatican back to Canadian soil after a century abroad. This journey, which included a ceremonial ritual in Rome and a heartfelt welcome in Montreal, is more than a milestone. It is an invitation for all Canadians and visitors to experience the richness of Indigenous history firsthand.
Reconciliation Through Travel: More Than a Motto
At Indigeno Travel, our mission, Reconciliation Through Travel, is woven into every journey we curate. This recent repatriation effort, guided by Elders Chancellor Commanda and Fred Kelly, and supported by our VP of Sales and Client Relations Sandra Rose, shows how travel can be a bridge to understanding, healing, and connection. When you choose to explore Canada through Indigenous experiences, you are not just a visitor. You become part of a living story, one that honours the past and shapes a better future.
Why Indigenous Travel Is Fulfilling
Connect With Living History
Indigenous travel experiences offer a rare opportunity to witness traditions, ceremonies, and stories that have been passed down for generations. Whether you are attending a powwow, participating in a sacred ritual, or learning from Elders, you will gain insights that go far beyond textbooks or museums.
Support Reconciliation
Every journey with Indigeno Travel is a step toward reconciliation. By engaging with Indigenous communities, you help foster respect, understanding, and healing. Your travel dollars directly support Indigenous businesses and cultural initiatives, making a tangible difference.
Experience Authentic Canada
Canada’s landscapes are breathtaking, but its soul is found in the wisdom and resilience of its Indigenous Peoples. From the forests of Manitoba to the shores of British Columbia, Indigenous guides offer perspectives that transform ordinary sightseeing into extraordinary discovery.
Create Lasting Memories
Travel is about moments that stay with you forever. Imagine standing alongside Elders as they welcome home sacred artifacts, or sharing stories around a fire under the northern lights. These are experiences that change you and that you will want to share with others.
Why It’s a Bucket List Experience
Indigenous travel in Canada is not just another vacation. It is a journey of meaning. It is about walking alongside those who have shaped this land for millennia, listening to voices that have too often been silenced, and celebrating the resilience and beauty of Indigenous cultures. The recent repatriation of artifacts, supported by Indigeno Travel, is a powerful reminder that history is alive, and that each of us has a role to play in honouring it.
