PRESENTATION:
Traditional indigenous child rearing philosophies adopt a wholistic (mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual) approach to child rearing while being inclusive of the family unit and the community. Prior to contact of European settlers, many tribes of the Great Plains (Prairies) used the Tipi for housing of the family and community. Tipi’s need 13 poles to make the circle of the Tipi and two additional poles for smoke flaps; each pole in the Tipi there are Traditional beliefs about child rearing. These Traditional Teachings work together collectively, equally by leaning on one another to hold up the Tipi, reflecting the strength of Indigenous peoples.
