Location: Campus access road in front of Amphitheatre Time: 6:15 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. yāhkaskwan mīhkiwap (aka light tipi) (2014-ongoing) is a performance-based artwork and event by celebrated multidisciplinary artist and singer/songwriter, Cheryl L’Hirondelle (Cree/Halfbreed; German/Polish). The work gathers artists and storytellers, participants and audience around a virtual tipi generated by beams of light cast into the night sky and made visible through the drifting smoke of burning sage bundles. We welcome all to join to experience knowledge sharing in the form of storytelling and song, and an invitation to both learn and embody tipi pole teachings in this participatory event. Event and duration are weather dependent; followed by warm drinks and conversation at Îethka Mâkochî Ahogi Chi Pa Bi Ti: Îethka Territory House of Respect. This event is free and all are welcome.
