YUASNI TIPO FAMILY TREATMENT CENTRE | Wahpeton Dakota Nation
Repost
The new Yuasni Tipi Family Treatment Centre, located on the lands of the Wahpeton Dakota Nation near Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, is designed to provide programming and services focused on supporting family wellness, sharing cultural knowledge, developing life skills, enhancing education and awareness, and facilitating land-based therapeutic activities.
Designed with a muted palette and natural wood elements, the lodge seamlessly blends into its surroundings. The entrance doors face east, inviting warmth of the rising sun into the lobby and dining room, where families can gather for breakfast. At the heart of the building lies the cultural room, a space dedicated to holistic practices, smudging, and ceremonies. The layout thoughtfully separates family suites and client spaces in the south wing from administrative and counseling areas in the north wing, fostering both privacy and community.
