Kole and I are going on a trip with the rest of her class to Six Nations, near Brantford, ON. It's funny; when most classes start to discuss end-of-the-year trips, schools in this area tend to book for places like Canada's Wonderland, the Toronto Zoo or Centreville... I never would have dreamed that my daughter's class would be discussing trips that involved medicine walks, longhouses, and pow-wow weekends.
Some of the places where we will be visiting and staying at are:

The children are very excited to be going. We are taking a bus early Thursday morning and will be doing activities and excursions in and around Six Nations until late the next evening. All of this is provided, free of charge. It is like a cultural exchange program as we will be visiting another independent cultural school and comparing and contrasting it with ours. It should be a lot of fun.
