THE CANADIAN ROOTS EXCHANGE

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 are the Canadian Roots Exchange - a week long road trip that takes First Nations, Inuit, Metis and non-Indigenous Canadians around Canada's provinces to visit and learn from our country's Indigenous communities.

Together we engage in the teachings, triumphs and daily realities of Inuit, First Nations and Metis communities in Canada

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?

Click on “Exchanges” to learn more about how you can join us.

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
