A group of learners in Lutsel K’e got a taste of just how hard their ancestors worked to clothe themselves at a first-time traditional moosehide tanning camp last week.

“When I’m doing moosehide tanning, I often think, ‘yeah I’m doing one, it’s so hard, but what if I had to do 10 just to make sure that my family had the clothing that they needed to stay warm?’” said Stephanie Poole, a community member in Lutsel K’e who participated in the tanning camp. “It gives you a real appreciation for all of the work that our ancestors did.”

Around 10 to 15 people took part in the 10-day camp, some of whom slept on-site while others trekked out to the campsite each day, located near the townsite at the outlet to Stark Lake river.  https://norj.ca/2014/06/lutsel-ke-traditions-kept-alive-with-tanning-camp/
