On Friday, we had the incredible opportunity to visit the Burnaby Village Museum for the inaugural Indigenous Learning Week. There, we had the opportunity to learn from Coast Salish elders and knowledge-keepers about the indigenous history of the place we now call Burnaby. We learned about Coast Salish culture through weaving, Coast Salish art, language learning, and exploring the traditional uses of indigenous plants. We are so thankful for this experience. We also want to extend a thank you to all the families that helped make this field experience possible by driving and accompanying us on this adventure!
