Things To Do|Guided Tours
Kodiak Herbal Metis Culture in Calgary offers immersive Métis cultural experiences that connect travellers with traditional lifeways and plant-based knowledge.
Guided by Métis herbalist and knowledge keeper Kalyn Kodiak, guests learn about the traditions of southern Alberta Métis communities through hands-on workshops and stories passed down from grandmother Marie. Experiences may include a herbalist apothecary tour with medicine making, weaving a custom Métis sash, cooking a traditional feast, or exploring wild foods and medicines on a foothills plant walk.
Visitors can also wildcraft Métis rosary bush for jewellery and medicine, or work with elderberry for food, dyes, and remedies. Sessions run in a cozy Calgary apothecary or nearby outdoor spaces, with some online and distance options available for those unable to travel.
