At its core, tourism is about connecting with othe

At its core, tourism is about connecting with others and with the world around us. At Métis Crossing, we believe that Indigenous tourism offers a unique and valuable perspective on the world. It allows us to share our stories, traditions, and way of life with visitors from around the world. As Métis people, we have a long and proud history of resilience, adaptability, and innovation. Through tourism, we can showcase this unique heritage and celebrate the diversity that makes our community so special.

As we celebrate National Tourism Week, we want to highlight the importance of Indigenous tourism and the impact that it has on the Métis People. By supporting Indigenous-owned businesses like Métis Crossing, you're not only experiencing something truly unique and special, but you're also contributing to the preservation and promotion of Indigenous cultures. Thank you for choosing to explore the world with an open heart and mind. We look forward to welcoming you to Métis Crossing!
