Indigenous voices bring a closer look at the north in latest PG Tourism video

A new video released by Prince George Tourism, in partnership with Re:BC, gives more perspective and stories of the land in Northern B.C..

Feel the Land, Know the people showcases the changing seasons, stories, and spirit of the north, amplifying Indigenous voices in tourism.

Interim CEO Carmen Herman talked about having Lheidli T’enneh First Nation Elder Darlene McIntosh narrate the film.

“Elder McIntosh is so respected in our community and the Lheidli community.”

“Her voice brings a deep wisdom that we honour and want to share with the world, and she really represents and speaks for her nation.”

Herman said she hopes people take away the need to share the community’s resilience, how we’re community oriented and connected to the outdoors.

She added the video wouldn’t have been done without Lheidli T’enneh First Nation, and Elder McIntosh to amplify their voices.

The video debuted at the Northern BC Tourism Summit, and can be found here.
