Marking Truth and Reconciliation in Medicine Hat
Film Screening, Community Gatherings - Transit Available
MEDICINE HAT, Alta. — National Truth and Reconciliation Day is on Sept. 30. There will be several events honouring residential school Survivors and their families while inviting the wider community into conversations about reconciliation. Here is what is happening in Medicine Hat this year.
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.
