Ethnobotany Tour
(Coming Soon!)
Take a deeper dive into our knowledge of traditional foods, medicines, and building materials. Secwépemc roughly translates to “spread-out people” and our connection to the land has kept us here since time immemorial.
Familiarization Tours
We offer Familiarization (FAM) Tours for tourism organizations, businesses, travel-trade partners, and influencers looking to learn more about the language, history, and culture of the Secwépemc. FAM Tours provide an opportunity for new staff to build cultural knowledge and confidence, while giving tour operators and travel-trade partners a more meaningful experience they can draw upon when sharing our story with our potential visitors.
Our current FAM Tours are offered at two levels:
Introduction
A brief introduction from a tour guide followed by a self-guided visit of the museum. This option is ideal for new staff or tourism professionals who are looking for an initial introduction to the museum, exhibits, and Secwépemc language, culture and history.
Guided Experience
A guided tour of the museum and former Kamloops Indian Residential School, designed primarily for tour operators and professionals. This experience provides a deeper understanding of the history, culture, and stories of the Secwépemc people, allowing participants to develop a more authentic understanding that they can share.
Please contact the museum at 250-8282-9749 or Museum@ttes.ca to arrange a FAM Tour. Spaces are limited.
