The first phase of the project involves learning about Tsuut-ina culture, research, reading, and connecting to the land. A series of presentations and visits will involve members of the Tsuut’ina Nation and field trips to the Nation and to Moose Mountain. This is the beginning of a journey, that will explore Indigenous ways of knowing in the context of contemporary urban design.x.2 Task and Deliverables
