It has been a busy week in #NBE3U. Our #DramaticReading of “Cottagers and Indians” is always a highlight! Learning about land and the complexities of sharing the land in a colonized place. @SacredHeartOCSB @Macbouch @ocsbindigenous

It has been a busy week in #NBE3U. Students enjoyed Lynnya’s storytelling about the little people in Cree culture and learning about hand and stick games. Always make time for play! @SacredHeartOCSB @ocsbindigenous @Macbouch

What an incredibly moving day for our students to be a part of during this week of learning and journeying towards Reconciliation. #WeAreAllRelated @SacredHeartOCSB @ocsbindigenous @ocsbDL
