Isabella Kulak of Cote First Nation was shamed for wearing a ribbon skirt to school on formal day, resulting in massive community support and the creation of Bill S-227 recognizing national ribbon skirt day, January 4th.

The Grade 3/4's were so proud of this banner they made. They all shared how each part they painted related to themselves through storytelling. Well done!

Quill and bead work was the Indigenous people's way of decorating baskets, making medallions, earrings, and as shown here poppies. Happy Indigenous Veterans awareness day!
