๐Ÿชถ Goose Break Photo Challenge โ€” Day 3 ๐ŸŒฟ

Todayโ€™s challenge: BUILDING THE TEEPEE / PREPARING THE INSIDE ๐Ÿ”ฅ

The teepee is more than a structure โ€” it is a traditional dwelling and gathering place at camp.

It is where families come together to:
๐Ÿงก clean and prepare traditional food
๐Ÿงก pluck geese
๐Ÿงก cook over the fire
๐Ÿงก visit, laugh, and spend time together

Long ago, our ancestors lived and travelled in teepees as nomads. Today, it remains an important part of life on the land and our Goose Break traditions.

๐Ÿ“ธ Share a photo in the comments of:
โ€ขbuilding the teepee
โ€ขgathering or laying boughs inside
โ€ขpreparing the fire pit
โ€ขstarting the fire
โ€ขor getting the teepee ready for family use

Letโ€™s honour the work that goes into creating this special place of warmth, teaching, food, and togetherness ๐ŸŒฒ๐Ÿ”ฅ

To our sponsors โ€” Cree Nation of Chisasibi, Brighter Futures, CHB Public Health Dept, Maanuuhiikuu Dept, and Nishiyuu โ€” thank you for your support in making this week possible.

To all our workshop facilitators and everyone who helped behind the scenes, we truly appreciate the time, energy, and heart you gave to this week.

To everyone who attended, showed up, and took part โ€” thank you. We see you, and we honour each of you on your journey. Keep going, keep growing, and continue walking your path. โœจ

Even with some unexpected challenges and a few mishaps along the way, we came together, supported one another, and made it happen โ€” and weโ€™re proud of that.

A special shoutout to Vanessa for stepping up, Hepzibeth for the guidance, and our newbie Alysha โ€” you did such an amazing job. Youโ€™re the real MVPs ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•

From Youth Outreach โ€” Ronetta and Leila โ€” thank you all for being part of this journey with us. We appreciate every single one of you! ๐Ÿ’›
