Day 10
24/7/2026
Today was a truly fulfilling day. In the morning, we discussed whether it was appropriate to eat sweets before meals. We also played a word-chain game, and everyone was enthusiastic, hoping their team would win.

In the afternoon, we visited Wanuskewin, the FIrst Nations Centre, and learned about First Nations life. Although we missed the scheduled dance performance in the museum, we were lucky enough to have a staff member show us traditional Indigenous hoop dancing. He taught us how to create shapes like a snake, an eagle, and a butterfly—you can imagine how joyful we were!

| What was I making? Make a guess! |
After that, we explored the exhibition, where we saw patterns carved into stones by Indigenous people over two thousand years ago. They lived by hunting bison and carved bison footprints and rib patterns into the rocks to pray for a successful hunt. Long ago, Indigenous hunters disguised themselves as bisons to startle the herd, causing them to jump off the edge of a steep cliff so the hunters could harvest them for food. How wise they were! Unfortunately, we couldn't see any live bison today because of the hot weather. Above all, they held animals and nature in deep awe, praying for a bountiful harvest through these stone carvings. These simple patterns revealed their ancient way of life and beliefs. Now, we can see how the wisdom of these ancient people continues to bring bright inspirations to their descendants and the entire world.
