June 21st is National Indigenous History Day in Canada. It’s a time to honour the stories, achievements and resilience of Indigenous Peoples. Confederation Park Elementary was proud to honour this day by having a primary event called “One voice, One Heart, All Peoples” in which our students gathered in a drum circle with their newly made deer hide rattles and sang two Indigenous songs: Gitsigakomin and L’il Wat Song.
Students were also read a beautiful story by Monique Gray Smith entitled “ When We Are Kind”, learned about the history of Bannock and had a chance to sample some for themselves!
