Homeland of The MéTis Nation: Downtown Winnipeg Walking Tour
Offered seasonally
The story of the Métis Nation and the role it has played in Manitoba's wider history is often overlooked and oversimplified. On this tour, we will explore some of Downtown Winnipeg's most popular locations from a Métis perspective. Learn about the emergence of the Métis Nation during the early colonial period and how they mounted an enduring resistance against the Canadian government under the leadership of Louis Riel; examine the contrasting fortunes of Settler families like the Macdonalds who prospered under Westward colonial expansion; and explore how this Indigenous nation fought hard for its place in Canada. Come and learn how the past remains ever present for the Manitoba Métis.
This tour departs from Dalnavert Museum and ends at the Manitoba Legislative Building. Tours will proceed rain or shine but may be cancelled at the discretion of the guide in the event of unsafe conditions.
Tour length is 90 minutes Price: $8-14
Recommended for ages 10+
