Baaga’adowewin (Lacrosse)
A traditional healing game that allows youth to do physical activity with friends and community. This activity has shown to help youth cope with stress.
Traditional Camps & Activities
Members get chances to learn about Treaty Rights and traditional camps such as sugar bushing, spearing, netting, gill netting, harvesting of plants and berries in the area, manoomin (wild rice), and much more. Members are also given a chance to go to Traditional Camps so they can learn hands on and from knowledge keepers. We believe these activities are just as important to our youth as any of our other programs.
