Working together to build a powwow drum at Mamawe Ota Ashihk camp

The week-long camp involves ceremony, learning language and traditional ways of living, and hearing about the 7 Sacred Teachings. Members of IPS team will be gathering with Indigenous community leaders and settler allies to “nurture one another as the earth nurtures us.”
