A very humbling and interesting experience. There is so little on first nations culture and history in this area and this place felt like it did some justice to this substantial part of Canadian history. Interesting exhibits, videos and free coffee with admission including a little gift shop that unfortunately also offers some made in china souvenirs. All in all a very humbling experience. Recommended.

You have to visit this museum! So interesting, you will learn about native people, their lives, their clothes, culture, etc. Beautiful exhibition, well kept and fun for kids too! Families will have a great time, discovering and learning. The store is also good.

We loved it. This is really a well done museum with plenty of life size dioramas. Many first nation artifacts. Free coffee with admission. Doesnt take too long to go through plan about an hour. Do watch the movies as they are particular interesting and informative.

It was a good experience and the tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about First Nations culture and history.

Nice displays in a rustic building. Self guided tour was good. Lots of displays with good descriptions. We walked from other end of town but there is parking if you’d rather drive.

Excellent museum, if you want to understand the history of the area before colonisation, how colonisation changed and shaped the indigenous people then head here.
Everywhere else is second best.

This was a great museum to visit the bead work and artifacts were amazing. It cost 18 dollars for my wife and I and was worth the walk to see.
