| For 10 days, the Treaty 7 First Nations of Southern Alberta will raise tipis and re-enact life as it once was for their communities. |
| Inside their tipis, Plains Cree people slept on beds made of dried grass covered with buffalo robes. |
| The women made large covers for the tipis from deer hides, moose skins and buffalo robes. |
| Although these cultures centred on settled agricultural life, they also partook of seasonal buffalo hunts during which they lived in mobile tipis. |
| Other than water and poles for their tipis, the buffalo met all their needs. |
| There are no stockades or tipis, although the houses are a lot more humble and the fields a lot better tended than in neighbouring territory. |
