Stan Lethbridge
Stan was raised in the Wood Mountain, Saskatchewan area. He has ranched and farmed his whole life. Stan worked in the oil fields and he also tans hides. Stan’s great grandmother, Wanbli Sunpagewin (Crossed Eagle Quills) walked up with Sitting Bull’s people after the Battle of Greasy Grass (Battle of Little Big Horn). Stan is Hunkpapa. Stan has helped put up Tipis for Powwows, events and ceremonies, whilst learning the many ways of the Tipi. He wanted to share the Tipi teachings so he helped Kim Soo Goodtrack in creating a book on tips. One day, Stan wants to tan enough Tatanka (Buffalo) hides to make a winter Tipi! Stan thanks all those people who shared Tipi teachings with him. Today, Stan is an elected councillor for the Wood Mountain Lakota Nation and lives on the Wood Mountain Reserve.

Synopsis:
“Hokahe! Welcome!”
Welcome to Wood Mountain, home of the Lakota People, in southern Saskatchewan. It is here that we meet Stan Lethbridge, whose ancestral name is Lowanpi Mato (Singing Bear).
Join Lowanpi Mato as he prepares to set up his summer Tipi. He shares with us Lakota life values and traditions, and how they connect to building and taking care of a Tipi. He teaches us that to build a Tipi you need many items; some are from natural sources and others are purchased from a store. Lowanpi Mato takes us through a step-by-step building process so that we can all learn how a Tipi is built.
The Lakota language is woven throughout the story. The Lakota counting chart on pages 30 and 31 invites you to learn to count and have some fun looking back through the book to find items that match each number.
