NEW RECREATIONAL FACILITY NOTE: All Cheif Council Members will be addressed and requested approval for all designs and developments in every community in Canada and United States. No funds will be taken from any members in any community. This is a humanitarian project and peoples of the Nations will be hired and paid to work. Recreational Facility Development One of the biggest growing concerns among Indigenous people have been suicides, especially with young kids and teenagers. There is the lack of any form of organized actives. What do children and active adults do hundreds of miles out in the middle of no-where? Almost all the tribes and communities have no focal center for recreational stimulation. No gathering center of any actives that would take one’s mind off drugs, alcohol and thoughts of death. One of 1 Feather’s goals is to provide a recreational sport’s and entertainment facility where each and everyone can enjoy their time with some sort of activity. A recreational facility will be in the heart of each tribe and community. Each facility will have various functions and would have the following recreational services: ● Facility space and support services for shows, assemblies, conventions, meeting rooms and a Bingo Hall ● A health & fitness center including a weight room, cardio theater, fitness classes, basketball, racquetball & squash courts, and rubberized running track ● One to two swimming pools: a water slide; diving board; Tarzan rope; whirlpool; and swim equipment ● An ice rink arena for public skating, hockey and skating lessons (where applicable) ● Children's programs including swimming, dance, gymnastics, and skating lessons, along with special summer & holiday camps and workshops ● A library for both children and adults of all ages ● A cine-plex theater for everyone with a minimum of 2 screens ● A medical clinic and therapy/rehabilitation center It is also important to have a gathering hall for the elders for meeting and recreational use. Below is an example building design for a typical recrecrational facility. A cine-plex theater will beadded to this design. The uses will vary depending on location and needs for each tribe and community. Again, tribal leaders will be consulted on the best uses needed for each recreational facility.
