SATURDAY, JULY 18th — This guided tour explores Indigenous stories and teachings about animals, offering insight into the deep relationships between people, the land, and the animal world. Through oral traditions and cultural knowledge passed down through generations, you’ll gain a new perspective on the role animals play in history, culture, and everyday life.
Following the tour, guests are invited to sit down for tea or coffee with the guide, ask questions, and continue the conversation! You’ll also have the opportunity to view a genuine polar bear pelt up close as part of the experience.
