Overview of your Calgary tour:

This tour combines the fascinating history and culture of the great First Nation of Siksika and their great Chief Crowfoot who signed Treaty 7 on behalf of the Blackfoot Confederacy at Blackfoot Crossing! It also encompasses a journey to Drumheller, land of dinosaurs and coal mines, and a visit to a world renowned museum! In addition to this, we'll get to hike at the Hoodoos rock formations that have been carved into pillar like shapes over millions of years, and see the Horseshoe Canyon (approximately 72 million) which seems to be "out of this world". These places are personal to me as the heroes in my historical fiction books are from both Drumheller and the Siksika Nation. I received 2 awards for one book, and the other was judged as one Canada's finest First Nation books. I enjoy sharing my research enthusiastically with travelers from all over. Finally, I also, provide a live concert during a meal at a vintage restaurant with my guitar as well as perform a few other classic songs along the way!
