Spring School Series – Indigenous Walking Tour at The Forks

Turtle Tours is now booking our Spring School Series, offering Indigenous-led walking tours designed for students to experience Manitoba’s history in the place where it happened.

Located at The Forks in Winnipeg — where the Red and Assiniboine Rivers meet — this guided experience brings students onto the land to learn through storytelling, place, and interactive discussion. Students walk the same ground where thousands of years of meeting, movement, and history have taken place.

Led by Indigenous guides, the tour provides a clear understanding of Treaty history, the role of The Forks as a historic gathering and trade site, and the ongoing presence of Indigenous Peoples today. The experience is designed to make history understandable, relevant, and accessible for students.

What Students Experience:

• Indigenous-led storytelling rooted in place
• Teachings on land, treaties, and early trade systems
• Interactive discussion that encourages engagement
• Learning beyond the classroom

What Students Take Away:
