(Limited to 25 participants)
Presented by Ernie Walker, 2007 3M Fellow
- Ernie will meet us at the entrance, taking us info the interpretation centre, with a cleansing smudging ceremony, then down into the valley.
- In the valley, Ernie is teaching an undergraduate class, conducting an archaeological dig. Each student in the class will be assigned a Fellow, and the students will teach you what to do, and why. his will be a teaching and learning experience, at a major site, sacred to First Nations people of the plains, with undergraduates and their professor.
- WEAR CASUAL CLOTHES AND GOOD WALKING SHOES.
- We will be accompanied by First Nations staff and an Elder during the whole visit. Much of the commentary will be theirs.
- After class, we will return to the main building for refreshments and a tour of the artifacts, art gallery, and other elements of the centre. Again, First Nations staff will be the primary guides.
- There will be an outdoor exhibition of Plains Nations traditional dancing, accompanied by drummers, again, with commentary by the performers and the staff.
- Return to your hotel to freshen up in time for the STLHE welcoming reception on campus.
