Tipi Raising Program at Wanuskewin Heritage Park


Director of Programming at Wanuskewin Heritage Park, Teena Nelson, teaches students, families, and visitors about the cultural significance of the tipi within First Nations culture.

The Tipi Teachings Program is a hands-on experience for participants to learn about the importance of the tipi in First Nations culture. Insight into the traditional lifestyle and worldview of the Plains Cree is gained by learning about tipi poles, structure, and history. There are linkages between Social Studies, Science, and Math curriculum that can be explored when raising a tipi. More information about the 45 minute – 1 hour long Program can be found at the following link: https://wanuskewin.com/discover/teachers/programs/.

Please note: The quality of the audio and video in each interview on NCCIE.CA may vary. NCCIE has been a capacity- and skills-building project for students and youth. They have been "learning-through-doing," learning how to arrange and conduct interviews while, at the same time, gaining experience with the technology.
