Learn ceremonial etiquette and protocols of First Nations
Growing up on the Big River First Nation, Sylvia McAdam experienced first hand the culture and rich heritage of traditional Cree family life. Between the ages of seven and 13, she was skinning rabbits, plucking ducks and spending weeks at a time out on the trapline with her family.
“It was truly a wonderful life. When I went to university I thought everyone had experienced these same quiet and ceremonial times as I had growing up,” she said.
“When I discovered that wasn’t the case, I thought how these folks had missed out on so much.”
McAdam went on to get a degree in human justice from the University of Regina and a bachelor of laws from the University of Saskatchewan before joining the Saskatchewan Indian Cultural Centre (SICC) in Saskatoon. Her latest project at the centre melds both academic training and her First Nation knowledge in a new book, Cultural Teachings: First Nations Protocols and Methodologies.
