Traditionally, nomadic hunter-gatherers of the interior of British Columbia moved with the seasons. Following the receding snow into the mountains for the summer, gathering winter food, these nomads travelled back to the same wintering site to live in a kikwilly house.
You too can share in this and other Canadian First Nation cultural experiences at our wilderness guest ranch while sleeping under the stars in a modern summer nomadic Indian tipi. Imagine sitting around the campfire at night sharing stories of the wilderness — the grizzly bear, the wolverine, and the traditions of the native people. Play a game of Lahal, a native Indian game for division of assets practiced to this day at native celebrations.
Come along as we stalk wildlife, just like the native Indians did for thousands of years. We will show you how to identify animal tracks, how to gather traditional food from the forest — like edible seasonal berries, how to make pemmican, and how to cook over a campfire. To complete the seasonal nomadic cycle during your stay with us, you’ll move into a traditional winter house called a kikwilly. Here, similar to the tipi, the sleeping areas are around the perimeter walls with a fire in the centre serving as a place for cooking and socializing.
Experience native culture of cooking native food over the campfire, drying meat, tanning buckskin, staying in a winter pit house, or cleansing in a native sweat lodge. We also offer an add-on cultural tour to see First Nations dip netting salmon in the Fraser River during August and September.
