Traditional Village

Traditional Village

Featuring tipis and tents showcasing the Five First Nations served by ATC.

While ATC communities are Cree or Dene, each community has a unique culture. The Festival is a place where community members can share and demonstrate their diversity and connections to each other. The culture of the Cree and Dene of northern Treaty 8 has been shaped through the traditional knowledge of how to survive on this northern landscap. Festival-goers will experience traditional food preservation and preparation methods and learn directly from community members about their culture.
