Hello, Ahneen, Boozhoo, Tansi, Sego, and Welcome to the Canadian Roots Exchange!

Ever thought that a week long road trip could change our country? We did.

Still do, actually.

We’re the Canadian Roots Exchange, a group of young Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians that believe that in order to bridge the gap between Canada's people, we need to become educated, aware and to learn from our country's First Peoples.



So, together we travel to cities and towns across Canada and engage in the teachings, triumphs and daily realities of First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities.

Most importantly…

As we travel, eat and live together we work to break down stereotypes, open a dialogue, and build honest relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people living on this land.

Want to get in on the conversation?

While you’re here, look around the site to find out more about what we’re about, what we do, and why you should become a part of it. You can also watch our promo video to see what went down on our very first trip.

We look forward to meeting you,

- The Canadian Roots Exchange Team
