“This beautiful place was fought for.” – Načiks (Tofino) E1

This season of Travel Beyond shows a way forward for every place threatened by climate risks or grappling with what it means to host visitors on Indigenous territory. Welcome to Načiks (Tofino).


During 2023’s bustling summer, the only route in and out of Tofino, British Columbia was blocked by wildfires for 17 days. Brad Parsell of Tourism Tofino shares how the community responded and why every positive change a travel organization can make relies on rock solid relationships. Elder and former Chief Moses Martin of Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation tells us about the 1980s-90s War in the Woods and the impact Indigenous stewardship has had on protecting the lush environment so many visitors now enjoy.
