  • I really enjoyed this visit. The woman who gave us the tour is an active member of the tribe with a lot of personal experience and stories to tell. It was great to listen to all of the information. While there are items on display I found her personal experience to be more fascinating.
  • A wonderful experience. Very hands on, the children played with little toys, our guide demonstrated some of the items, and we sat in the longhouse. Highly recommend. Our children had such a great time and it was nice to learn about the history and culture. Thank you for the beautiful memory.
