Mikiwahp Pimâtisiwin Tipi Life creates a space for reflection, learning, and connection by bringing Indigenous ways of knowing into conversation with financial wellbeing. Through stories, teachings, and practical financial education, participants explore how healthy relationships with money contribute to miyo pimâtisiwin—living a good life in balance. Participants develop practical tools for budgeting, banking, credit, consumer awareness, saving, and financial decision-making while strengthening confidence, self-determination, and a sense of belonging.

Tipi Life at Momentum is open to all residents of Calgary and of Treaty 7. The program is also delivered through community partners, some of which welcome members of the general public.
