Learn about the Métis heritage

Get ready for an extraordinary adventure that will take you deep into the heart of Métis heritage. Imagine wandering through a game park that is home to some truly majestic creatures. We're talking about rare white bison, wood bison, common bison, moose, and the magnificent Percheron horses. These animals have a special place in the Métis culture.


Did you know that the Métis word for bison is "bufloo"? It's a beautiful term from the Michif language, spoken by the Métis people. These hills were once graced by the roaming herds of bison, and the Métis have a fascinating historical connection to these majestic creatures. Back in 1865, thousands of Métis would come together for the buffalo hunts, marking a pivotal moment in their history. It was through these gatherings that the Métis Nation flourished, developing their own laws, democrats, and legal systems.

Now, let's talk about the tour itself! You'll embark on a captivating journey that lasts around 1.5 to 2 hours, and transportation is included for your convenience. As you delve into the park, you'll have the chance to get up close and personal with the animals by entering their paddocks. It's an intimate experience that will allow you to truly appreciate the bond between the Métis people, the land, and these remarkable creatures.
