If guests want more of an aboriginal experience, they can try a traditional sweat lodge or attend a workshop with the aboriginal artist who inspired the design for the room they’re staying in.

Food is also part of the lodge’s unique aboriginal experience. Once the kitchen is fully operational, guests will be able to eat cinnamon-flavoured bannock bites and wild rice corn potato pancakes for breakfast. If they want room service, they can order meals such as bison bourguignon and pulled bison in a rhubarb barbecue sauce.
