The following images were taken at Grundy Lake Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada. As part of the restoration of cultural practices, the Native Child and Family Services of Toronto operates a residential summer camp at Grundy Lake for Native children and families from the Greater Toronto Area. The goal of the camp is to foster positive Native identities and to have fun while doing so! The camp is located south of the city of Sudbury, at Grundy Lake Provincial Park in Northern Ontario, in an area that was originally Ojibwa territory (Anishnabe). The images below are of the tepees that campers live in while at the camp. Originally, Native peoples lived in "wigwams" which were built with poles and covered with sheets of birch bark. However, when they became nomadic to follow buffalo herds, the wigwam changed according to their needs. Referred to now as tipis, the birch bark was replaced with sewn buffalo hides. The Native peoples of the Grundy Lake area usually lived in Wigwam style - an elongated tepee covered in birch bark. (See the longhouses of the Wampanoag People of Massachusetts here.) The tipis below are made out of a canvas material.
► Did you know.... that the name for the structure below has a variety of spellings? Although the word comes from the Lakota Sioux word tipistola, the various spellings are: Teepee, Tee Pee, Tepee or Tipi. Of those individuals that I spoke with, I took note that most people used the "tepee" spelling, however, Native peoples preferred "tipi".
