Finding Light in a Heavy Week: A New Dance Floor and a Walk of Honour
This week has been shitty for a lot of people and until the whole AISH/ADAP payment fiasco gets sorted out, it will continue to be shitty. In the midst of shittiness there is a ray of light, two rays in fact…. Saamis Tepee Improvements….Honouring Veterans at Riverside Veterans Memorial Park.
The White Horse Rider Tepee Project
Elder Charlie spoke of the traditional materials to use to build tepees - while Mercer's project uses canvas, they once used buffalo hide which is very heavy - this limited the size of the tepees… and told us the tepee rings we see on the plains were from campsites, the stones were used to hold down the tepees instead of pegs.
