Something New But Something Old


by Zoe Blondeau

I have been going to treaty four now for a while, and I have something new to look at each year. Like this year, there was a career fair tent; my favourite booth there would have had to be, First Nations University; one, because I knew a couple people from that booth, and it was great to see them again.

My other favourite part this year would have to be watching the dancers seeing them get ready with all their stuff, and getting prepared to dance. Climbing the hill was great too because my friend and I thought that it would be fun to go exploring, down the other side of the hill, which caused a few falls, but was worth it.

On Tuesday morning I was dressing up as Bert the Fox, which was pretty fun, but very hot in there. But one of the things that was kind of funny, but sad, was that I was walking around as the fox and saw these two little girls, so I went up to say hello, and the one little girl screamed and ran away, and the other girl started to cry, so that was my experience as Bert the Fox.

Then on Wednesday we were there for just about the whole day and it was very cold that day, but we went anyways. I really enjoyed eating the fries from Minnie’s; they are well known for their food each year they are there for treaty four.

Many of the children that go to Treaty Four really enjoy all the activities in the teepees; there is a variety of different actives in each teepee; for example, the SGI Roll Over Car activity or the face painting, or even the bannock on a stick. Each child had something to do.   
Like I said before I have been going to Treaty Four for a while, and one thing that nobody will ever forget about Treaty Four is, Minnie’s food truck, that is the one thing people look forward to every year.
