World's Largest TeePee,which stood over the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary.Was brought to Medicine Hat, Alberta by a Medicine Hat business man ,Amerigo Nella "Rick" Filanti,who saved it from being shipped to China as scrap metal.He also had to put up his own authentic Picasso to finish the deal as collateral.It stands proudly on sacred Indigenous land on the edge of a Buffalo Jump.I was blessed to be an interpreter here.Each drum ( large circular objects along the entire bottom rung) has the original art work of Indigenous artists.Medicine Hat Alberta
