Tipi Teachings

In-Person
Join elders Clarence and Barbara Nepinak as they share historical facts and personal stories about the tipi. You will see how the 20 foot poles are raised, assembled and covered with canvas as our 9 and 15 foot tipis are set up. Barbara and Clarence are band members of Pine Creek Ojibway First Nations and are recipients of many awards including the Knowledge Keeper Award from the Aboriginal Circle of Educators and the Queen's Jubilee Award in 2012 for their work as cultural ambassadors.
