Onlookers at the tipi raising included Hamisi Kamando, deputy principal of the Mineral Resources Institute of Tanzania, who was visiting the province for the first time to study Parkland College's partnerships with the mining industry.
As a celebration of diversity, Parkland College students raised an 18-foot tipi in front of the Yorkton campus last Wednesday morning. The tipi, brought in from the Fort Qu'Appelle campus where it was originally built by students of an Essential Skills for the Workplace program, was raised in a public ceremony featuring costumes and drummers.
