This is the trip I built for myself first, but realized other people wanted in. Five days deep in Nishnabi/Algonquin territory, on the same lakes and trails I grew up on, guided by me (Chief Little Eagle) and shaped by Native ways my family has practiced for generations. You wake up at Miwapanee Lodge on Lake Kipawa, eat what we caught or hunted that week, head out with me each day for whatever's in season hunting, fishing, tracking, hiking, learn the herbal medicines my elders taught me, and sweat the city out of you in a real ceremony. It isn't a glamping package with a Native theme. It's the real thing, made comfortable enough that bringing your spouse or your kid doesn't end in a fight. Built around couples (2-for-1 pricing) but works just as well for parent-and-kid trips, friend groups, or anyone who needs a serious reset. What follows is everything that's included: lodging, transport, meals, gear, the adventures, the cultural pieces, and the books I'd hand you on the drive home.
