Talking Trees: Stanley Park Indigenous Walking Tour Led by a First Nations Guide
Talking Trees: Stanley Park Indigenous Walking Tour Led by a First Nations Guide
Daily Talking Trees
For KrisFlyer members only
Highlights
Each Talking Trees tour is unique, shaped by the land, the season, and the stories shared along the way.
Your experience begins with a brief land acknowledgment and gentle introduction from your Cultural Land Ambassador. Together, you’ll walk among towering cedars, maples, firs, and wild berries, learning how Indigenous peoples have lived sustainably in this region since time immemorial.
Through engaging storytelling and land-based teachings, you’ll discover how local plants and trees were traditionally used for food, medicine, technology, and cultural practices. Your guide will share the story of the “Tree of Life” and its many gifts, including uses connected to transportation, housing, clothing, and ceremony.
Along the way, you’ll learn how Indigenous communities practiced stewardship through selective harvesting and reciprocal relationships with the land, knowledge systems that continue today. Each tour is shaped by the season and the interests of the group.
