Ft. Simpson community tipi decorating project
The youth center of Ft. Simpson, NWT, created this community activity as part of their Open Sky Festival. The event itself happened while we were on the river. Here the kids are drawing whatever they want to include on the tipi canvas, and the artist-in-residence helps them paint it on the canvas. Whatever the kids want goes on the canvas: Smaug from the LOTR, a heron, cartoon characters and the bank swallows that flew along the MacKenzie river.
