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:

• Understanding of Indigenous history and treaties
• Connection to land and place
• Confidence to ask questions and engage in discussion
• A meaningful, memorable learning experience

This program is designed for Grades 4–12, and is also well suited for educators, university groups, and student organizations. It connects directly to curriculum areas including Social Studies, Indigenous Studies, Geography, Civics, Economics, and Oral History.
