Being at T4 with my friends as journalist was the best time I have ever had at T4. We learned new things, met new people, and tasted new food.
Logan and I talked to
Trev Mann, a local who tans the hides at T4.
He taught us, along with Bernadette, an elder from up north, that
tanning a hide is a long process, but well worth the wait. The food at T4 was
so incredible we couldn’t get enough of it! The shaved ice and cotton candy was
just the right thing to satisfy our sweet tooth. Almost everyone enjoyed a
bannock burger from Minnies!
Some of my friends
hiked up to the top of the hills to see T4 from an above view. I heard it was quite the hike, but a beautiful
scene once you got up there.
Being a journalist at
T4 gives us a whole new perspective on the event. It gives us a behind the
scenes look on what’s happening around us, from the announcers to the food to
the dances. Being a journalist is a great experience and helps us understand
how much work goes into putting this celebration together. I know that all my
friends and I enjoyed every bit of it!
Stay tuned for my
article on Tanning Hides with Trev Mann early next week.
