Indigenous Learning Day

33 Central School hosted an Indigenous Learning Day on September 20th. Ocean Man and Stoughton Schools travelled to Fillmore to participate in the day. Students rotated to stations including tipi raising, a powwow and regalia presentation, playing the moccasin game, designing orange shirts and buttons, and beading. Facilitators from Ocean Man, Pheasant Rump, and White Bear First Nations ran these activities. Everyone gathered in the gym to watch a Hoop Dance presentation with Terrence Littletent, a world-renowned hoop dancer and storyteller from Kawacatoose Cree Nation. They wrapped up the day with a powwow dance demonstration and a round dance. This Indigenous Learning Day wouldn't have been possible without the wonderful sponsors who contributed, the facilitators, and Ocean Man School's drum group and dancers. It was a wonderful experience for students and staff!
