WEYTKP

Cataline Elementary

We want to extend a huge thank you to Wes Rosaire Dick, the painter, and Rob Johnson, the carver, for the beautiful Secwepemc welcome sign that will adorn our entrance hallway. Rob shared the following in regards to this sign: "We feel grateful to carve and paint the Salmon for your school. Both Wes and I are from Esk'et and have been doing creative work together for the past six years. Water that moves is forever changing and affects everything it touches; we all need it, we all depend on it. Water too strong can affect us from were we want to go. The Salmon are in these waters and they push through it to get home to start life again. This carving is not just a welcoming but a reminder to always keep going and to push through until we get home."

Thank you Yvonne Davis for sharing.

1690838358745.png1690838368426.png 1690838377394.png


Truth and Reconciliation Day

Likely Elementary

Why do we wear Orange? What truth needs to be reconciled? Students at Likely Elementary learned about needs of survival versus needs of thriving, from two plants named Steve and Alex. This understanding of needs was then personalized to a puzzle creation showing the ‘Pieces that make Me’. Students engaged in discussions about how it would feel if ‘Pieces of Me’ could not be developed due to needs not being met. This was connected to the fact that children at Residential Schools did not have their needs met. The level of empathy and understanding shown was impressive. Students have a new understanding to the questions: Why do we wear Orange? What truth needs to be reconciled?

Thank you for sharing Jill Kurki

September 30th

GROW - Graduation Routes Other Ways

Graduation Routes Other Ways is an Online Learning School with students distributed throughout School District No. 27.

Attended by numerous students, the following agenda was followed:

  • What is Orange Shirt Day?
  • Reading of the Book - "I Hope"
  • Why Everyone is Important

In February right before the sap begins to flow the birch tree chaga (medicinal, high anti-oxidant fungus) is at its prime.

The fire grounded everyone after the hunting and warmed them up. 



Every Child Matters

Esk'etemc Cultural Awareness

District Pro-D

In October and November, SD27 staff had the opportunity to take part in a cross-cultural workshop presented by elders and knowledge keepers at Esk’etemc. The workshop was called, “A First Step in Esk’etemc Cultural Awareness”. Although held at different locations within the territory, the Friday morning sessions focused on intergenerational trauma and its implications for Indigenous people within the contemporary education system. Dave Belleau recounted his experiences from residential school, as well as the journey he took afterward on his way to healing himself and others who survived traumatic experiences in their youth. After Dave’s presentation, participants made their way around the circle, introducing themselves and sharing their ethnicity and cultural backgrounds before having lunch together. 

During the sessions, Freddie Johnson Sr. shared the protocols and the spiritual significance of the traditional sweat ceremony. Participants then had the opportunity to experience the sweat first-hand. Although it was an introductory sweat (around an hour in length as opposed to three hours), it gave the participants the chance to appreciate the ceremony’s importance to the Secwepemc people.

On Saturday, Kukpi7 Fred Robbins led a land tour of historically significant landmarks and various sites, allowing participants to understand the current land claims the Esk’etemc are pursuing. These areas contained unmarked graves, former pit house depressions, and an airport that was built without consultation. The journey ended with a smudge ceremony back at the Sxoxomic School.

Over the course of the two days, participants had the chance to feel a connection to the land, the learning, and the people they were learning with. The elders and knowledge keepers shared their expertise in a kind and caring way. It was a positive first step toward a vision Kukpi7 Fred Robbins has had for years, where SD27 staff seek out the knowledge that is available on the traditional territories where our schools are located and where his community’s youth attend. Co-planners; Calvin Dubray - Esk’etemc Education Director,  Ryan Hanley - CCTA Pro-d Rep., and Nara Riplinger - Columneetza teacher, were happy to have the opportunity to work with Kukpi7 Fred Robbins in taking this first step forward. We are looking forward to seeing the next group of educators for sharing, learning and understanding. The hope is that with this shared learning, educators of SD 27 can transfer this knowledge back to the students as we pave a path for future generations of authentic Truth and Reconciliation.

There are plans to offer another workshop on the April 29 Pro-D day. Please contact Ryan Hanley for details.

Dipnetting with Dad

150 Mile House Elementary

Kirsty Bowers taught a unit designed around the book Dipnetting with Dad by Williams Lake First Nation Chief Willie Sellars. The class read the book and talked about the things students knew and learned from the book. They discussed how indigenous people lived/still live and how it differs from most people. After reading the book they had a dipnetting demonstration and fished for balloons in a trough of water and got to try to carry a weighted sack to experience what it was like to carry fish home. The class visited Farwell Canyon. Students looked down from the bridge at various spots that would be used for dipping. While out there, students got to explore the pictographs and pick sage after learning how to make an offering to the land. Kirsty says it was amazing how the whole unit came together full of enriched experiences of Indigenizing the curriculum. It was perfect to be able to end the unit by gifting the students with a copy of the book for themselves. Many parents have contacted her to say thank you for the book and the learning experience for their children.
