When you dream of the ideal getaway, do you envision pristine lakes with mountains mirrored at sunrise, and a deep sense of connection to the land beneath your feet? At Sustutdene Eco Resort on Takla Lake, every moment is intended to nourish your spirit while honoring the traditions of the Indigenous people who have called this place home for centuries.

This isn’t just another vacation – it’s a chance to participate in ecotourism in Canada that protects the earth, supports Indigenous culture, and invites you into a story much bigger than you could have imagined.

A Journey Rooted in History | The Significance of Indigenous Ownership

Unlike conventional resorts, Sustutdene Eco Resort is Indigenous-owned, founded by Alana Tevely, the future Hereditary Chief of the Takla Nation (formerly known as the Sustutdene People), alongside her husband, Eric, and their business partner, Gino.

Choosing an Indigenous-owned eco resort means every stay helps preserve cultural knowledge, stories, and traditions that have been passed down for generations. You’re not simply a guest when you stay with us, you become part of a living legacy, helping ensure that the voices of the Sustutdene People are carried forward. 

Supporting Local Communities & Culture | Travel With Purpose

When you stay at the Sustutdene Eco Resort, your visit directly supports the Sustutdene People, ancestral land, and surrounding communities. From guided excursions to cultural workshops, you’ll experience authentic storytelling, Indigenous wisdom, and hands-on traditions that deepen your connection to this land.

Whether it’s learning to paddle across Takla Lake, listening to drumming under the stars, or hearing oral histories around a glowing fire, these experiences stay with you long after your visit – while your stay contributes to keeping these practices alive for generations to come.
