E’tasiw mijua’ji’j ksite’taqn Today we are thankful our youths can share and celebrate their culture, but we also grieve for the children who could not. Today we must come together and heal, work toward a better tomorrow for all children. msit no'kmaq

Our indigenous leadership group was honored to drum and share about #orangeshirtday, welalin @cjses1 @GBES_hrce @SrbHrsb @RkTelementary for inviting our youth, providing a safe space for them to share their experiences and culture. Their arms are sore but their hearts are full

@SrbHrsb Welalin for holding a safe place for our students to be themselves and represent, learn and share their culture.

School Assembly for Orange Shirt Day. Thank you to Ms Crowe and our Indigenous Student Group for making this happen!

Our young leaders were busy this evening getting the drum ready for four events at @RkTelementary @SrbHrsb @GBES_hrce and Colonel John Elementary. After a long summer the drum needed to be tightened by placing it over the fire. Our leaders are off to an amazing start of the year

Our indigenous students had a great day at Kings University Collage @ukings exploring their school and their new indigenous space. Welalin for hosting us 🥰

Happy Valentines Day Some of our amazing students from @ColeHabourHigh @SrbHrsb and @RkTelementary volunteered to help out at our elementary valentine dance 💃 🥰

We made medicine bags during our program. @SrbHrsb

Our @SrbHrsb & @ColeHabourHigh indigenous students went back into the woods with their spirit plate to make an offering to Apuknajit Wela'lin Apuknajit wjit ta'n tel ankweywin, aq ta'n mu teli-kewjiek, aq ta'n mu teli-aptaqna'luek, aq apoqnmuinen wjit wejku'aq wla na'kwekl.

Making medicine pouches in class at @SrbHrsb

An SRB bulldog couldn't wait to show off the beautiful medecine pouch she made with Mme Mullins in Indigenous group. ❤️

Today we made deer stew for our class gathering. Some of the SRB and CHDHS youth had never had deer so it was a new experience for them to enjoy a traditional meal. We hope to have many more of these. @SrbHrsb @ColeHabourHigh

Yesterday our young indigenous leaders designed ribbon shirts and skirts, which they will be creating over the next few weeks. Huge thanks to @SrbHrsb for all their continued support.

Access to medicines without barriers is key to promoting great awareness to their spiritual needs and the needs of their classmates. I love when the students walk in and say they need to smudge and are able to start a smudge themselves or for their class 🥰 @SrbHrsb
