In this post we share our work towards reconciliation with some of our learning from this school year on our students' knowledge about Indigenous Peoples' history, perspectives, and learning approaches:

• Visual arts students were taught about residential schools, looked at Indigenous art, and listened to Indigenous music.  Approximately 300 students responded to their learning on a paper eagle feather.  IB Art students curated 3 impactful and provoking installations about colonization and the impacts felt by Indigenous people today.  Once dismantled, the eagle feathers were used to expand our Reconciliation Feathers installation at the front of the school. 

• English students worked on personal Reconciliation projects which included such topics as: Moosehide Campaign, Dreams Ignited (Indigenous Scholarships), Experiencing skoden (Indigenous Film Festival), Metis Woven Belt, "A Story to Tell" (illustrating an oral story), Gord Downie's "Secret Path".
