A youth gathering for traditional land-based teachings and games.
This gathering is open to senior high school students involved in outdoor education/land-based education programs in Manitoba’s First Nations high schools.
The purpose of this event is to provide youth with team building skills and traditional knowledge of how we, as a people, used animals, trees, water and tools made from the land for all aspects of life. Participants will learn and use skills such as team work, hunting, animal preparation, and using essential animal parts for making tools or other everyday implements. We also want to teach the youth the importance of participating in events our people used to do prior to colonization
The gathering will be fun, friendly and educational.
