Your exclusive private journey begins at the Jasper Hinton Airport, where you'll be greeted by Lauren Moberly - A local Rocky Mountain Cree woman and member of the Aseniwuche Winewak Nation of Canada. Lauren will serve as your guide for this Indigenous helicopter tour. Your pilot will whisk you and Lauren off into the mountains to witness the incredible landscape. While your eyes feast upon the alpine peaks, Lauren will tell stories of the landmarks along the way. Fly part of the path her family took when they were forced to leave their home and walk 200 kilometres to Grande Cache in 1909. Experience the joyous moments of the past and learn the ways of her people. See her historic homestead from an awesome aerial perspective. Ask your questions and get authentic answers while you connect with Lauren. A safe, historical landing has been chosen for you to get out, explore and enjoy a traditional Indigenous picnic! After sufficient time, you'll board your helicopter again as you make your way back to the Jasper Hinton airport. Along this route you'll appreciate the vastness of the Canadian landscape where the flat prairies meet the rockies. Landing back at the airport, we'll wish you well on the rest of your travels with a small gift from the heart ❤️ Please allow approximately 4 to 5 hours of time for this experience.

This tour is offered in the true spirit of truth and reconciliation, with permission & Support from the elders of the Aseniwuche Winewak Nation and the Mountain Métis.
