Reconciliation Through Tourism

Destination Indigenous (DI) is a groundbreaking nonprofit initiative committed to illuminating the rich culture and vibrant traditions of Indigenous communities spanning Canada’s diverse landscape. Join us on an inspiring journey led by Zane Buchanan, DI’s Creative Manager and proud member of the Métis Nation of Saskatchewan, as we explore the profound impact of Indigenous Tourism on the path to Reconciliation. 

By fostering genuine connections with Indigenous Peoples and empowering economic and cultural autonomy within these communities, Indigenous Tourism emerges as a transformative force driving Reconciliation from coast to coast to coast. Delve into how DI cultivates authentic connection through its innovative The Original Original Accreditation program, strategically bridging the gap between Indigenous enterprises and non-Indigenous audiences. Emphasizing the paramount importance of authenticity in Indigenous experiences, this initiative is reshaping perceptions and fostering mutual understanding between diverse cultural groups.
