A distinctly curved structure taking shape near the south end of Tindall Field will soon become an important place of ceremony, learning, and reflection for the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s community. Once fully assembled, the site 카지노 게임 컬렉션� which found its design inspiration in traditional Anishinaabe wigwams 카지노 게임 컬렉션� will open as the university카지노 게임 컬렉션�s newest Indigenous gathering space. 

카지노 게임 컬렉션�The new outdoor gathering space is an important addition to the campus learning environment as it ties us back to our original teacher: the land,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Kandice Baptiste, Associate Director of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Office of Indigenous Initiatives. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�We hope that this space can be utilized by the campus community to create connections, feel grounded, and learn more about Indigenous ways of knowing and being.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Scheduled for completion later this summer, the structure will create an area for ceremonial fires, as well as for teaching, learning, and engaging with Indigenous ways of knowing and being.

Architecturally, the structure incorporates significant Indigenous symbology. Entryways were positioned facing east and west, denoting the rising and setting of the sun, and the overall design nods to the medicine wheel and is designed for sacred ceremonial activities like smudging.

Part of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s ongoing commitment to truth and reconciliation, the structure카지노 게임 컬렉션�s location was selected to work in harmony with other notable Indigenized areas of campus, including the in nearby Mackintosh-Corry Hall, and new Indigenous spaces in the neighbouring Agnes Etherington Art Centre, being created as part of . The new space will join a wider array of Indigenous spaces across campus as well, like the recently opened Endaayaan-Tkanónsote student residence and its outdoor courtyard Indigenous gathering space.
