Learning

“We were measuring out the hide to cut it out for our drums. It was hard work, we couldn’t use normal scissors”.

Working Hard

“I feel good spending time with these brothers.”

The Dakota Way

“We got two sweat lodges done during the day. Leader from Ontario showed us different ways. Dakota, Anishinaabe, and Assiniboine all do things in a different way. He really liked our sweat lodge, a Dakota way. He liked that it was Dakota”.

Brotherhood

“I told " (Yellow Eagle with Good Voice/Wanbdi Zee Ho Washte/Blue Sky/Oozowaskwo Geezik)that he’d be in my photos because he inspires me. He asked me to go to the men’s group when I didn’t know him. I was at the friendship centre for an appointment, and he walked up to me and said “I know you have no idea who I am, but you should come to our men’s group”… Here we are gathering willow for the Carberry sweat lodge.”
