Language & Culture

The Saulteaux Language Instructor is Rose Marie Strawberry and our Land-Based Instructor is Shieeda Whitford. 

Students receive daily Saulteaux language classes which are a combination of time in the classroom and time on the land. During class students are learning the language as well as the teachings. Students are experiencing beading, drumming, dance, song, and traditional practices through our language and culture program. Our high school students can receive a credit in the Saulteaux language as well as a choice of 3 different cultural courses. Junior High students are able to participate in two options on Fridays as well. 

Our students also participate in a cultural week where they learn how to make dry meat, pick medicines, cook traditional food, play hand games and listen to Elder teachings.

Our Junior Chief and Council operate as a student council where they are tasked with small leadership responsibilities in the school i.e. assisting in leading activities at cultural week, and representing the student body at events when called upon. 

If any parents, elders, family or community members would like to assist in making our culture program shine please do not hesitate to call (587-798-0425) and talk to Rachael Stone (587)798-0425.

Students from K-9 also created their own version of a language book compiling all the words that they know.
