Indigenous businesses and tourism groups note rising interest amid U.S. tariffs

Crops, animals and serenity are part of the experience at Thunderbird Farm.

The operation in Woodville, Ont., in the Kawartha Lakes region, is one of a number of Indigenous-owned spots that are noticing a trend: travellers seeking them out.

"I'm getting a lot of positive feedback," said owner Brooks Johnson.

"People are looking for Indigenous experiences, people are interested in it," he said.

As Canadian tourism grows against the backdrop of the tariff war with the United States, organizations across the province are also seeing an increased appetite for Indigenous tourism experiences. People in the Indigenous tourism industry say they've noted an opportunity for growth. WATCH | Indigenous tourism rebounds after pandemic:
