We’d like to do a special shoutout to our amazing workshop facilitators for sharing their cultural knowledge with us at this year’s Ktunaxa Youth Summit.
Roberta Gravelle, for sharing about our traditional medicines and making traditional tea blends.
The youth were super pumped about this one as they got to learn the benefits of each medicine and make their own tea bags to bring home and share with family.

PJ Auld, Richard Couture-Ness and Elias Adams, for sharing their knowledge and teaching us to play stick games, what the sticks and bone purposes are, what strategies to use to throw off opponents, as well as teaching them to be pointers to lead their own games.
Every youth got to bring home a stick game set to decorate and practice with!
They had a blast and can’t wait to play more together.

Inismi Luke, Peter White and Brooke Metchewais for getting our youth up and moving for Pow Wow Dance classes.
Footwork, the importance of dancing, reconnecting by dancing, and sharing personal stories to encourage others to take a chance on themselves to get back into dancing, or to begin.
They had so much fun and practiced some of their new moves on the dance floor!
