First Nations Cultural tour in the Broughton Archipelago with Lillian Hunt.

Intimately experience the beautiful coastal rainforest home of the First Nations people, past and present on this Cruising Tour in British Columbia, Canada.

We are very excited to be offering for the fourth year running, this unique collaboration with the U'mista Cultural Centre and the Kwakwaka'wakw First Nations of Alert Bay, British Columbia.

From 10,000 years ago to the present, the Aboriginal people of coastal British Columbia have centered their society around, what was to them, the essence of life and what we now call "Art and Culture". You'll visit modern First Nations carvers who fashion gold and silver into jewelry, and cedar trees into canoes, masks and poles. At the world renowned U'mista Cultural Centre and Museum, our First Nations guide will introduce you to the complexities of the extravagant ceremony called the "Potlatch" with its myths, masks and regalia. You'll visit a modern "Big House" to feast and sway in the firelight to the drumming of the traditional dances.
