Lunch in Chisholm's Teepee |
|
Students and staff enjoyed a beautiful late September noonhour utilizing the school's teepee. Students assisted in all aspects of raising the teepee and helped to build a fire inside which many used to cook their lunch. Before lunch was ready several crawled inside to do their schoolwork and enjoyed the relative peace to help them focus on the tasks at hand.
As the students worked on erecting the structure they were reminded of the sacred significance of the poles and how the teepee is supposed to be honoured.
