Making traditional bannock over the fire
St. Thomas’ Church, Moose Factory
First Nations’
Culture Cruise
Your eight day journey starts in Winnipeg where
you will be met by your host and transferred by
road to Kenora on the Lake of the Woods for a
two night stay. Here you will be able to explore
Kenora’s harbour front, experience an authentic
pow-wow and tour a traditional round-house.
Board the 190-passenger M.S. Kenora and cruise
the Lake of the Woods, exploring a maze of
channels and islands where you will see bald
eagles, shore-side wildlife and unspoiled
wilderness. Disembark and check into the Totem
Beluga whale
Lodge, nestled amongst majestic pine trees at the
lake’s edge, for a two night stay. The next day
you travel to an ancient aboriginal burial site
which has deep cultural and spiritual meaning to
indigenous people throughout North America.
People would gather to trade, share, celebrate
and mourn in this area, a heritage manifested in
the many artefacts uncovered here. Re-board
the M.S. Kenora for a journey to Wiley Point
Wilderness Lodge, overlooking Lake of the
Woods, for a two night stay. Here you have time
to explore at your own pace: walking, canoeing,
fishing or hiring a guide to show you aboriginal
pictographs. From Wiley Point you return to
Kenora for a final night with time to visit Kenora
Museum, one of Canada’s finest small museums,
before returning to Winnipeg.
