Indigenous Education Residence
We are looking forward to our upcoming Indigenous Education residency with Indigenous Knowledge Keeper Sra. Pear White Quills starting on Monday, April 27. As we continue to honour our Escuela Canyon Meadows Commitment to Truth and Reconciliation in alignment with the CBE Education Plan, we are excited to engage in this new learning opportunity. This residency will allow us to continue to work with and learn from Indigenous Elders and Knowledge Keepers to engage in land-based experiences through Indigenous visual arts in culturally relevant and meaningful ways. For example, throughout this year’s residency we will learn about the cultural significance of Indigenous beading. Our ECM staff enjoyed the opportunity to engage in meaningful learning with Sra. Pearl during our Maatoomsii’Pookaiks (children first) professional learning day on April 24.
We will invite our parents/guardians to visit the school at a time during the school day at the end of May to join us in celebrating our learning throughout this residency. More details of this learning experience will be communicated closer to the date.
