[Woodcarver] Travel plans - What to see

[Barney Elking]

The best opportunity for First Nations stuff is the Provincial Museum in
Victoria.  There is a totem pole park also on the site that is fantastic.
Another good site is the Glenbow Museum in Calgary.  It's been a few years
since I took in either of them but they were certainly worth the effort
then.  The shops and galleries in Victoria have more First Nation things
than the shops and galleries in Banff.  The Canada Art store in Banff is
worth a visit but second rate compared to Victoria's.
