Arctic Indigenous Expedition

Maximum 8 guests.

Visit the capital of the Northwest Territories, Yellowknife! See the world’s biggest wood buffalo! Boat Canada’s longest river, the mighty Mackenzie River! Experience the pristine wilderness of the Northwest Territories and enter into a new, untouched realm of the Canadian Arctic! 

Experience life in small Indigenous and Inuit communities. Meet the local residents, community leaders, respected Elders and experience firsthand the warm hospitality of the local Indigenous peoples of the Dehcho region of Northwest Territories (Denendeh) and the kind and resilient Inuit peoples of Canada’s Arctic in Nunavut!

Highlights include a comfortable 300km drive from Yellowknife to Fort Providence where you will see the world’s largest buffalo along the way! When in Fort Providence, we will visit the beautiful Residential School Memorial constructed on the same site as the first Residential School in the Northwest Territories, which opened over 160 years in 1860.

Relax on a comfortable 65km boat ride on the mighty Mackenzie River from Jean Marie River to Fort Simpson, the same river canoed by Sir Alexander Mackenzie and his intrepid men back in 1789, over 230 years ago. 

In each community you will overnight in relaxing accommodations including Fort Providence, Fort Simpson and in Kugluktuk on the Arctic Ocean! While in Fort Simpson enjoy a wonderful, interesting evening having tea and a storytelling with local Indigenous Elders.
