Cultural Experts & Experiences

You can connect to and learn about Champagne and Aishihik history and culture not just at Da Kų, but from many knowledgeable Citizens and at many locales across Dakéyi (our country). Several CAFN Citizens operate guiding and cultural tourism business, providing authentic experiences.

We encourage visitors to check out the following interpretive venues and businesses:
