Tipi Retreats

Metepenagiag’s representation and interpretation of the Mi’kmaq culture is excellent, and it just got even better – you can now sleep in a contemporary tipi. Once you arrive at the Heritage Park, you'll be taken to your traditional accommodations.

You’ll be assigned a tipi for the night and staff will be on hand to assist with the activities around the campfire. Ancient Mi'kmaq culture has existed at its life source for over 3,000 years, so there are a lot of stories to tell! Sleeping under the stars, in the fresh air, surrounded by such a rich history is sure to take your understanding and appreciation of the culture to a whole new level. Not to mention, at peace with nature, making it a truly spiritual experience.
