Friday 11th: Opening in the Gallery at the First Nations University

The great teepee construction.

The ceremonial teepee.

The First Nations University


Around 17.00 we went to the art gallery @ The First Nations University. We had a talk with the artist, and she explained the symbols of her spiritual journey and walkings. 

At the exhibition we met the associate professor Lionel A. Peyachew. He kindly invited us to the ceremonial teepee, and explained the traditions and ceremonies in the teepee when the elders meet. He is the artist who helped the students to create the ceremonial sticks, and he has made the sculpture four ways. 

We also exchanged words: how to say hello in Cree: dansay. And in danish: goddag.
