Tipi & Wigwam - Traditional Area - Symons Campus
Trent University has a sweat lodge at the Peterborough campus and a tipi at both the Peterborough and Durham GTA campuses, which serve as spaces for students to learn about ceremony and cultural teachings. The tipis also act as classroom space. Students are greeted by volunteer fire keepers who are trained in cultural protocol, safety, and are ambassadors for the space. Students are also welcome to bring a cup of coffee and lunch, socialize, or find some peace and quiet.
