About
The Tipi Raising Competition was initiated by the late Cultural & Traditional Advisor Glen Anaquod, from the Muscowpetung First Nation. The competition emphasizes the importance of the tipi, culturally and educationally, all the while building the spirit of teamwork.
The competition is open to the university community, high school students, and the general public. Teams of four compete in four categories (High School, Women, Campus & Community). Competitors include university and high school students (grade 9 and up), university employees, and community members.
Criteria
High School: 4 High school students; 2 females and 2 males
Women: 4 females
Campus: At least one university student; 2 females and 2 males
Community: 2 females and 2 males
All competitors must be high school students or older.
Registration is free
Everyone welcome to register (grade 9 and up)
Free lunch provided for competitors
Tipis and supplies are provided
Registration will close once all spots are filled.
The event provides a fun, friendly, and engaging environment for hands on learning about Indigenous culture and values. Celebrating the innovative structure of the tipi, we also explore what the tipi has to teach us in terms of our values; such as tending to our homes and families, the importance of teamwork, listening and observation, styles of leadership, and our ability to persevere in the face of obstacles.
