Indians Nation Teepee Tent Tepee Tina 1928 Tipi
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time, transporting us back to the 1920s in Western Canada. The image features a group of Sarcee (Tsuut'ina Nation) women outside their teepee, located in what is now known as the Tsuut'ina Nation reserve. The women, dressed in traditional regalia, are engaged in various activities, including preparing food and mending clothing. The teepee, or tipi as it is also known, is adorned with vibrant red fabric, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Sarcee people. The Sarcee, also known as the Blackfoot or Blackfeet, are an Indigenous North American tribe with a long and complex history. They are one of the largest First Nations groups in Canada, with a population of over 12,000 members. The Sarcee people have a strong connection to the land, and their traditional territory spans across southern Alberta and northern Montana. Despite the challenges and hardships faced by Indigenous peoples during the 1920s, the Sarcee people continued to hold onto their traditions and way of life. This photograph offers a glimpse into their daily lives, showcasing their resilience and determination to preserve their heritage. The women in the photograph are identified as Micakiu (Mary) and Mucayiomoxin (Mary Ann), and the photograph was taken in 1928. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural history of the Sarcee people and the importance of preserving the stories and traditions of Indigenous communities in Canada.
