You are invited to the Treaty Four Traditional Feast
Monday, noon, September 12th

We are all Treaty people.

 



Never been to a Traditional Feast? Here's what you need to know:

 

• Bring some food to share. One of the following would be great: soup, fruit, bannock, juice boxes (please deliver by 11:45 to the announcer’s booth set up area).
• Bring a feast kit: carry away bag, multiple size plastic containers or jars with lids (for eating and take away), spoon, fork, knife, serviettes, plate, wipes if you like.
• Blanket to sit on or a chair if you are elderly or unable to sit on the ground. 
• Women, wear long skirts or wrap around and do not sit crossed legged, but with knees to the side.
• Elders can bring a chair, if needed.
• Selected young men will serve the food until it is all distributed.
• Women sit together on one side and men sit together on the other side.
• Women on their cycle (moon time) are asked to sit outside the circle to respect their power.

 

If you have questions that I can answer (from a newcomer’s or educator’s perspective), feel free to email me, sheena.koops@pvsd.ca or call at Bert Fox Community High School 306.332.4343.
