A must ... don't miss the presentations.
Jul. 2022 • Family
The museum itself has some interesting articles o display, but the highlight of the visit were the presentations given by the guides about the nature and how the first nations people used it to live and about the first nation culture. A lot of very interesting information and engaging presenters. Definitely worth the visit, we all loved it.

This is a small museum but very well run. We saw a video about the life of the first nation people and there were interesting exhibits with explanations in English. The lady in charge was very interesting to talk to and gave us an insight into their modern life. A very worthwhile visit.

A small museum, with some interesting facts about the first nations. The guided tour is a bit long for young children, but fascinating. It's worth the hour or so to do it.

This small museum is really interesting to visit, the traditional clothing, the everyday life objects from the past, the plants and herbs used, everything is there to help you understand a way of living. It is a nice place to visit with the kids or as a couple. Enjoy your stay in the community

A part of the museum - the native village is well worth seeing
Sep. 2013 • Couples
While the museum is interesting as it tells the story of the government and church separating the children from their families at an early age, a part of the museum and not located at the same site is the native village. The First Nation people who demonstrate curing hides & carving are passionate about their crafts and took a long time with us explaining the various processes...And were skilled. We stayed much longer than anticipated as it was so interesting and small.

very interesting but small and only in french
Jul. 2013 • Couples
this museum provides you with some great information but unfortunately only in French which was a problem for my husband. you can visit it in about an hour. there is a permanent exhibit as well as a temporary one and a small gift shop. I would recommend it to anyone interested in the first nations.
