Fodor's Expert Review Aboriginal Experiences
Ottawa
Family
A former Algonquin trading post on an island in the middle of the Ottawa River, close to the new War Museum, shows the history of the First Nations people. Tours take visitors through tepees and a longhouse where traditional dances are performed twice daily. An open-air café serves buffalo burgers, venison sausages, and grilled salmon. At the craft workshop, you can make a dream catcher, talking feather, or medicine wheel.
