We were privileged to learn about Blackfoot culture and traditions from Elder Shirley Hill. Students were respectful and engaged. We learned Blackfoot language, Jingle and Hoop dance, stories of where Indigenous people have been and how far they have come, the importance of acknowledging land a.k.a Mother Earth and the Creator, and all about life on the land.
See below for a glimpse of what a great day we had...
Students got to experience first hand some of the Regalia Shirley Hill shared with us.
" I see.....I think it was and was used for..."
All in all a fabulous day. BIG THANKS to all the volunteers!
Have a good nights rest everyone and see you tomorrow!
YAHOOOOOOO!!
PS: Outside for the afternoon tomorrow. Please dress in appropriate winter gear.
