New Film Highlights Indigenous Storytelling and
Land-Based Wisdom in Prince George
This compelling story speaks to a meaningful shift in how we
experience travel, culture, and connection to place.
Feel the Land, Know the People is a new short film launched by Tourism Prince George in partnership with Re:BC. Narrated by Lheidli T’enneh Elder Darlene McIntosh, the video invites viewers to experience the changing seasons and spirit of the Inland Temperate Rainforest through an Indigenous lens.
The film offers a quiet but powerful message about traveling with intention, listening to the land, and honouring Indigenous knowledge.
Some highlights of Feel the Land, Know the People:
- Reclaiming Storytelling: How Indigenous Elders like Darlene McIntosh are helping shift tourism narratives by placing cultural knowledge and respect at the center.
- Filmmaking with Protocol: A behind-the-scenes look at what it means to co-create responsibly in Indigenous spaces.
- Why Trees are Teachers: The spiritual and ecological lessons found in BC’s ancient inland rainforest.
The video premiered at the Northern BC Tourism Summit and is now available to the public. It’s a timely piece that puts local voices and values at the forefront of how we invite visitors in.
