Preserving Traditions: A new Community Teepee

The Catholic Parish of Our Lady of Seven Sorrows in Maskwacis, Alberta, has deep and historic roots in its community.
Thanks to funding provided by the Indigenous Reconciliation Fund (IRF), the parish will be able to replace its teepee, covering all necessary materials and honorariums for those involved in the construction.
The teepee will be a gathering place in the summer months, fostering community connections during parish ceremonies, events, and the community’s Powwows. The initiative will help preserve cultural traditions that are important to the community and support the connection between Indigenous traditions and the Catholic church.
