Brother Fish Ranch Caretakers and Stewards - Butch and Debby have a love for outdoors, family and friends, which lead them to want to share Brother Fish Ranch with like minded people.

Their quest to acquire a tipi lead them to Deanna and Bruce Starlight of the Tsuu T’inaFirst Nations, their neighbors to the west of Calgary.

They had met Bruce in 2019 while searching for tipi poles for a friend. A quick call to Bruce in late winter 2021 lead to the creation of two beautiful tipi's which now reside on their property in the Foothills of Alberta.

"Working with Bruce and Deanna was an amazing experience" says Debby of her time spent in the creation of these beautiful pieces. "We were able to sit with them, listen and hear their stories and truly make a heart connection with these kind and generous humans." Deanna is a master seamstress and has stitched together countless tipis that now reside across North America. "We are so lucky and blessed to have two of these masterpieces." comments Butch.

Bruce and Deanna work with their adult children for the art work and in the set-up, blessing and story telling of the tipi.

Butch and Debby were gifted the story of the tipi, which has a Blackfoot canvas and

Tsuu T’ina bones and are looking forward to sharing that story with our guests.
