In the 10th week, Dr.Courtney Mason spoke to us as a guest speaker about Indigenous people, Parks, and Tourism Policy development. As an international student, I benefited a lot from this collection, because I didn’t know about indigenous people before. After learning, I learned that Canada has really contributed a lot to the protection of indigenous culture. Dr. Courtney tells us about the history of indigenous and their relationship with tourism. I also learned that Banff is the place where I gather indigenous people, and they also have the Indian Days Tourism Festival in Banff, and they also pay a lot of attention to tourism. Banff Indian days are an exchange and celebration of culture, providing opportunities for both economic and political. Indigenous people found many opportunities in the tourism industry, but at the same time, the indigenous culture also promoted the development of the tourism industry and added a different color to the tourism industry in Canada. The government paid attention to the indigenous development, not only to provide support for them but also to the extension of the culture
