The Mountain Metis and first Nations of the Jasper National Park area were known as the Asiniwuche Winewak, which means the Rocky Mountain People in Cree.

In this program, we share some of the skills that were crucial for our survival, and hope that all our visitors take away useful skills that will serve them in life.
