Practise as Ceremony
Cultural Teachings & Ceremony
The Practise as Ceremony team provides cultural services to all community members from different knowledge holders on the cultural team. The team consists of men and women, cultural connectors from different areas of Alberta and Saskatchewan of Treaty 6, 7 and 8 and the teachings are from the land and all its creation. The Practise as Ceremony team uses the Sundance model as an analogy to guide us all on our journeys in knowing what family and community all play a role in our lives. As we go forward, we’re in constant learning about who we are and the connection to all living things. We are all connected.
