MĀDAHÒKÌ FARM

From hosting Ojibwe Spirit Horses to sitting on tourism boards, Trina Mather-Simard has more than 20 years of experience as an Indigenous tourism entrepreneur. She has contributed to the local and national industry as part of her mission to “preserve, promote and pass on Indigenous cultures.”

Ottawa is located on the traditional, unceded territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation, and today, thousands of Indigenous people call the city home. Visitors to Ottawa can discover the land’s history and the enduring traditions and stories of Indigenous Peoples. Viewing Canada’s capital from an Indigenous perspective highlights a lasting connection to the land.

The Indigenous-owned and operated tourism destination Mādahòkì Farm is set to launch a number of new experiences for visitors to Ottawa this September.

Located southwest of the Canadian capital’s downtown, Mādahòkì Farm is known for its herd of rare and endangered Ojibwe Spirit Horses.
