Presented by Making Treaty 7 Cultural Society and Springboard Performance in partnership with The Confluence.

Begin on the land.The raising of the tipi is both practice and teaching—a living expression of knowledge, relationship, and continuity. This is where the experience is grounded.

The Tipi raising, a component of many First Nations, is a process between community and the land. We invite guests to learn how to raise a Blackfoot style tipi together, as a community, to honour our local artists, our land and history.

No registration required.

Come, experience the tipi raising, walk through Teach Me A Song, attend Radio III / ᎦᏬᏂᏍᎩ ᏦᎢ AND mingle with the artists afterwards!
