June 21, 2020 is National Indigenous Peoples Day
Do you remember last year on June 21, 2020? Here at Stoney Creek Community School we had a ceremony to raise our house post. This powerful carving at the front of our school was created to acknowledge Indigenous People, their stories and to continue a discussion of truth & reconciliation here at Stoney Creek. Splash and Ocean listened to our community and gave us thunderbird, bear, salmon, salmon berries, the creek and the surrounding territory to remember each day. How will you acknowledge this weekend? Perhaps Ms. Good’s blog or Ms. Petrovska’s blog will give you some ideas.
Please acknowledge National Indigenous People’s Day and share how you acknowledge it. Our story continues here at Stoney Creek, thank you for being part of it.
I taught my family the Women’s Warrior song with my indigenous drum. Megan Innes of Squamish nation shared the song with me a couple of years ago at summer school, and she told me it was taught to her by her aunties.
