Feast Kit for Monday Afternoon

Imagine spending the afternoon sitting on a blanket and enjoying time with women, or if you're a guy, sitting with other men, and sharing a meal, served by young men in our community. Imagine this circle, together as Treaty people, accepting the gifts we have to offer one another as good neighbours.

If you've never been to a traditional feast before, why not join us on Monday at noon, on the Treaty Four grounds.

• Bring some food to share. One of the following would be great: soup, fruit, bannock, juice boxes (please deliver by 11:45 to the announcer’s booth set up area).
• Bring a feast kit: carry away bag, multiple size plastic containers or jars with lids (for eating and take away), spoon, fork, knife, serviettes, plate, wipes if you like.
• Blanket to sit on or a chair if you are elderly or unable to sit on the ground. 
• Women, wear long skirts or wrap around and do not sit crossed legged, but with knees to the side.
• Selected young men will serve the food until it is all distributed.
• Women sit together on one side and men sit together on the other side.
• Women on their cycle (moon time) are asked to sit outside the circle to respect their power.

Here's a picture of my feast bag:
