About
Two Indigenous storytelling sessions will be led by knowledge keepers. In the first session a knowledge keeper will share the ancestral teachings of the nêhiyaw home (the tipi). This will include teachings about matriarchy and kinship. The session will also include raising a miniature tipi with the participants so they can experience it in a hands-on way. The purpose of this session is to inform and encourage respect for Indigenous matriarchal laws and kinship laws. The second session will teach us nêhiyaw knowledge about ancestral nêhiyawak place names in Treaty 6 Territory. It will bring awareness about the ancestral knowledge of nêhiyawak people and create an understanding of pre-contact territories before settlers moved into the territory.
