A beautiful morning at the Fort spent learning how to raise a tipi with Elder Charlie Fox. Learning traditional skills like this not only connects us with our cultural heritage but also deepens our appreciation for Indigenous practices and craftsmanship. It's moments like these that help foster understanding and respect for Indigenous culture and traditions.
