One of the best travel tips ever is "trust the locals" because they always know how to get the most authentic experience no matter where you are! Indigenous Peoples are the locals in Canada so it makes sense to ask them for tips and insight about our country. There are a ton of unique Canadian Indigenous cultural experiences you can try as part of celebrating National Indigenous Peoples Month this June. Narcity spoke with Anishinaabekwe artist and activist Sarain Fox to find out about the best ways to get involved with Indigenous culture this summer and beyond. "Indigenous experiences provide that true Canadian immersive experience," said Fox. "People would be surprised to know that there’s always a place for everybody inside Indigenous culture and there’s always a way to get involved!" Here are 6 ways you can experience Indigenous culture this summer: Follow The Pow Wow Trail In New Brunswick Price: Free!
