Indigenous Learning & Culture

Honouring National Indigenous Peoples Day Through Learning and Connection

100 Mile Elementary

On June 17, 2026, our students participated in a full day of learning in recognition of National Indigenous Peoples Day, engaging with Indigenous perspectives, culture, history, and ways of knowing through a variety of hands-on experiences. Throughout the day, students explored Indigenous teachings through drumming and storytelling, leather medallion making, worry stone creation, Northern Lights tile painting, birch bark basket learning, jig instruction, Indigenous games, bannock making, traditional meat drying and tasting, and discussions about traditional medicines. Students also learned about the cultural significance of fur, created bookmarks connected to drumming teachings, and participated in a learning circle that included conversations about smudging and Indigenous medicines. These experiences were designed to foster understanding, respect, and appreciation for the rich cultures, traditions, and contributions of First Nations and Métis Peoples. Learning was presented in an age-appropriate, educational, and experiential manner, providing students with opportunities to connect with Indigenous knowledge and perspectives in meaningful ways.<table class="editor-table" style="width: 100%; table-layout: fixed;"><colgroup><col style="width: 50%;"><col style="width: 50%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><img src="/images/59cf86f8-d0ae-4fde-b8b0-2c8a3d3408f0?fingerprint=ppb20260623185255" alt="Honouring National Indigenous Peoples Day Through Learning and Connection 2" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"> </th><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><img src="/images/0681b68f-d97e-439f-85ab-1bc8cd96735a?fingerprint=ppb20260623185257" alt="Honouring National Indigenous Peoples Day Through Learning and Connection 1" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"> </th></tr></tbody></table>

Ribbon Skirts: Learning, Identity, and Tradition

100 Mile Elementary

This spring, from April to June, students in our Sewing Club met every Wednesday and had the privilege of learning from quilters from the Survivors Sewing Club, who generously shared their time, knowledge, and skills. Students began by making tote bags and then used their new sewing skills to create ribbon skirts.Through this project, students learned about the cultural significance of ribbon skirts and gained a deeper appreciation for Indigenous traditions, identity, and self-expression. Learning alongside community members helped build meaningful relationships and connections.This project reflects the First Peoples Principles of Learning and supports the BC Curriculum Core Competencies through communication, creative thinking, and personal and social responsibility.We extend our sincere thanks to the Survivors Sewing Club and to Penny Reid, Indigenous Support Worker, for their guidance, support, and dedication in helping make this meaningful learning experience possible.<table class="editor-table" style="width: 100%; table-layout: fixed;"><colgroup><col style="width: 50%;"><col style="width: 50%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height: 673px;"><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><img src="/images/b25d9fd5-0f72-416b-8310-04682fbbf6fd?fingerprint=ppb20260617221242" alt="Ribbon Skirts Learning, Identity, and Tradition 1" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"> </th><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><img src="/images/6ace3394-7168-46f3-8b0f-2484254abbf8?fingerprint=ppb20260617221242" alt="Ribbon Skirts Learning, Identity, and Tradition 2" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"> </th></tr></tbody></table>

Indigenous Studies - Medicine Bags

100 Mile Elementary

Students in our Grade 5/6 class have been exploring Indigenous knowledge and traditions through hands-on learning. During Indigenous Studies, students learned about medicine bags—small pouches traditionally used by many Indigenous peoples to carry meaningful items that represent connection, protection, learning, and personal reflection. With guidance from Mrs. Dixon, students practiced basic sewing skills and carefully created their own medicine bag pouches. Through this process, they developed patience, perseverance, and craftsmanship while learning about the cultural importance of respecting Indigenous teachings. Students will be able to use their pouches during our Outdoor Education classes to safely carry small personal or learning items while spending time on the land. This helps connect classroom learning with experiences in nature.<img src="/images/b75bcdfc-dd0d-46e5-8ba0-43ae4c783882?fingerprint=ppb20260318032423" alt="Indigenous Studies Medicine Bags Debbie Dixon" width="449" height="598" style="width:449px;height:598px;display:inline-block">

In February, students were carefully collecting pine needles and making tea, students practiced land-based learning and saw how the land can provide for us when we treat it with care. This activity helped us understand that Indigenous knowledge is important, meaningful, and still alive today.<img src="/images/6e330f5d-881a-402d-9ddc-8fd69e748bcd?fingerprint=ppb20260306042743" alt="Pine Needle Tea Making Debbie Dixon" width="463" height="618" style="width:463px;height:618px;display:inline-block">

What is the Inukshuk?

100 Mile Elementary

In January, Indigenous studies classes dug deep into the Inuit Indigenous culture. Students created Inukshuks through art, Building their understandings of the teachings of the inukshuk (or inuksuk). The Inukshuk is a stone landmark built by Inuit in the Arctic, meaning "in the likeness of a human," used for navigation, marking hunting grounds, warnings, or ceremonial purposes, symbolizing survival, community, and guidance in the vast landscape. These structures, often resembling a person, serve as essential communication tools and markers for travel, food caches, or spiritual sites, demonstrating Inuit ingenuity and connection to their environment.<img src="/images/0eca4130-d63e-458a-ae44-e0eb56f9e387?fingerprint=ppb20260216195924" alt="What is the Inukshuk Debbie Dixon" width="430" height="573" style="width:430px;height:573px;display:inline-block">

Seven Sacred Teachings

100 Mile Elementary

At 100 Mile Elementary School in October, intermediate students participated in a poster contest illustrating the Seven Sacred Teachings—values such as love, respect, courage, honesty, wisdom, humility, and truth—which are actively practiced within the school community. This activity aligns with the B.C. Curriculum by supporting Social Studies and Arts Education competencies, including exploring Indigenous perspectives and using creative processes to communicate meaning. By taking part in the contest, students learned more about these teachings and helped create a respectful, culturally aware school environment. The winning students celebrated their achievement with a pizza party with Mrs. Dixon.<img src="/images/06ac9e91-9bbe-4700-bf62-b1b78ef0dcea?fingerprint=ppb20251217033645" alt="Seven Sacred Teachings Debbie Dixon" width="622" height="467" style="width:622px;height:467px;display:inline-block">

Cultural Learning Through Medicine Pouch Making

100 Mile Elementary

In November, Mrs. Dixon’s Indigenous Studies class created hide medicine pouches offering students a meaningful, hands-on way to engage with Indigenous cultural practices connected to wellness, respect for the land, and traditional knowledge. This activity aligns with the B.C. Curriculum by supporting ADST competencies such as designing, creating, and reflecting, as well as Social Studies and Arts Education competencies related to understanding Indigenous perspectives, cultural expression, and the interconnectedness of identity, place, and community. Through this process, students build cultural awareness, strengthen personal connections to learning, and honour Indigenous knowledge systems in a respectful and authentic way.<img src="/images/5dadf9df-dd3b-4549-94d7-8168bf930a8d?fingerprint=ppb20251217034103" alt="pouches focus post Debbie Dixon" width="553" height="737" style="width:553px;height:737px;display:inline-block">

Honouring Tradition, Strengthening Community

100 Mile Elementary

We were honoured to welcome Knowledge Holders Alana & Marty Dixon for a meaningful, hands-on learning experience grounded in traditional knowledge and lived practice. Through learning traditional methods of preparing and smoking wild meat, students didn’t just hear about these practices—they experienced them. They learned how knowledge is passed down through doing: observing closely, asking thoughtful questions, and understanding the care, patience, and responsibility that come with harvesting and preparing food from the land. For many of our families, hunting is an important part of life and culture. Bringing this learning into our school honours that reality and strengthens the connection between home, school, and community. It affirms students’ identities, validates intergenerational knowledge, and builds a shared understanding of respect for the animal, the land, and each other. Experiences like this remind us that powerful learning happens when traditional knowledge, hands-on experience, and community voices come together. We are deeply grateful to Alana and Marty for sharing their wisdom and helping our students learn in ways that are authentic, relational, and rooted in place.<table class="editor-table"><colgroup><col><col></colgroup><tbody><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="width: 350px; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245); border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top;"><img src="/images/cbdbe606-8e7f-4bab-85de-dd46b5579c6f?fingerprint=ppb20251217040230" alt="Honouring Tradition 1 crystaldawn langton" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"> </th><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="width: 350px; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245); border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top;"><img src="/images/07428227-4467-4c5b-a8c4-1d4fe268b477?fingerprint=ppb20251217033645" alt="Honouring Tradition 2 crystaldawn langton" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"> </th></tr></tbody></table>

Professional Development Reflection: Honouring Indigenous Medicines and Traditional Knowledge

100 Mile Elementary

On November 24, 2025, I had the opportunity to attend a powerful professional development session focused on making Indigenous medicines. It was more than a workshop it was a chance to learn from traditional knowledge keepers, connect with cultural teachings, and understand the deep importance of these practices. Learning about Indigenous medicines isn’t just about creating remedies. It’s about honoring ancestral knowledge, respecting the land, and appreciating the relationships between people, plants, and community. These teachings carry wisdom that has supported wellbeing for generations, and continuing to learn them is a meaningful way to preserve and uplift Indigenous ways of knowing. I left the day feeling grateful, inspired, and humbled. It was an honour to be part of this experience, and I’m thankful for the guidance, generosity, and stories that were shared. This learning will stay with me, and I look forward to continuing to building our stories and connections.<table class="editor-table"><colgroup><col><col></colgroup><tbody><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="width: 350px; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245); border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top;"><img src="/images/d9ecdcaf-c37f-4bb8-87a0-0c7a3b85612c?fingerprint=ppb20251217040323" alt="ProD Reflection Honouring Indigenous Medicines and Traditional Knowledge2" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"> </th><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="width: 350px; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245); border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top;"><img src="/images/cdce4040-6d54-4b2e-803e-05e9f6f82e79?fingerprint=ppb20251217040255" alt="ProD Reflection Honouring Indigenous Medicines and Traditional Knowledge1" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"> </th></tr></tbody></table>

Every Child Matters

100 Mile Elementary

On September 30, Canadians wear orange to recognize the survivors of residential schools and to honour the children who never returned home. Orange Shirt Day began with Phyllis Webstad’s story, when her new orange shirt was taken away on her first day of residential school. This simple act became a powerful symbol of the loss of language, culture, and identity that many Indigenous children endured. At École 100 Mile Elementary, our students took part in authentic learning experiences, including a smudging ceremony and cultural activities that residential schools once tried to strip away. These experiences remind us of the strength and resilience of Indigenous traditions, and why it is vital to learn with respect and humility. True reconciliation begins within. It calls us to listen to survivors, to learn about our shared history, and to reflect deeply on our role in building a more respectful future. By honouring Indigenous voices and culture, we commit to ensuring that every child truly matters.<table class="editor-table"><colgroup><col><col></colgroup><tbody><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="width: 350px; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245); border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top;"><img src="/images/03665f7c-402c-41d2-a021-eebf96d23404?fingerprint=ppb20260301060303" alt="Every Child Matters crystaldawn langton" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"> </th><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="width: 350px; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245); border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top;"><img src="/images/9b33923a-596d-40dd-ac64-5d3a45d33176?fingerprint=ppb20260301060303" alt="Every Child Matters (2) crystaldawn langton" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"> </th></tr></tbody></table>

Honouring Indigenous Education Through Hands-On Learning

100 Mile Elementary

Indigenous education is essential for building cultural understanding, respect, and a sense of belonging within our school. It helps students connect with the rich histories, traditions, and knowledge of the First Peoples whose land we live and learn on. This week, Mrs. Dixon introduced students to the art and meaning of hoop dancing—an expressive storytelling tradition—before taking the learning outdoors so students could try it themselves. Penny Reid also led a lesson on talking sticks, which are used in many First Nations cultures to ensure everyone has a voice, teach respectful listening, and promote patience. Students then created their own talking sticks to honour these teachings. These experiences reflect the Circle of Courage values: Belonging (connection to culture and community), Mastery (learning new traditions), Independence (expressing understanding creatively), and Generosity (listening deeply and respecting others’ stories).<table class="editor-table"><colgroup><col><col></colgroup><tbody><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="width: 350px; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245); border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top;"><img src="/images/714a37ec-9fb2-4ac0-b4d9-5208ffe31600?fingerprint=ppb20260218221938" alt="Honouring Indigenous Education through Hands crystaldawn langton" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"> </th><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="width: 350px; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245); border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top;"><img src="/images/e958651b-2276-42f3-a938-2684794f9523?fingerprint=ppb20260218221938" alt="Honouring Indigenous Education through Hands 2 crystaldawn langton" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"> </th></tr></tbody></table>

Nesika Elementary

On District Planning Day staff at École 100 Mile Elementary engaged in a meaningful Secwepemc language lesson led by Irene Gilbert from Tq’ésqen First Nation. Irene shared words and phrases from the Secwepemctsín language, offering insight into their deep cultural significance and ancestral connection to this land. Following the language session, staff moved outdoors to our community garden, where they received a lesson and created pictographs inspired by traditional Indigenous art forms. These experiences reflect our belief that it is just as important for adults as it is for students to learn about the rich history and living culture of the land we live and learn on. Through this learning, staff model the Circle of Courage values: Belonging by building relationships with local Knowledge Keepers, Mastery by developing new understandings, Independence by taking responsibility for their own growth, and Generosity by passing this learning on to our students and school community.<table class="editor-table" style="width: 100%; table-layout: fixed;"><colgroup><col style="width: 50%;"><col style="width: 50%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><img src="/images/3109313f-ad2d-458a-8edd-d00aa6e59f54?fingerprint=ppb20260218221020" alt="Where We Live (2) crystaldawn langton" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"> </th><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><img src="/images/342330ab-495f-40b6-9b37-a081d528b767?fingerprint=ppb20260218221020" alt="Where We Live (1) crystaldawn langton" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"> </th></tr></tbody></table>

Talking Sticks

100 Mile Elementary

Talking sticks are a traditional tool used by many North American Indigenous peoples during meetings and discussions. They serve as a symbolic means of communication, allowing each speaker to have the floor without interruption. The use of a talking stick fosters respect, active listening, and inclusivity, ensuring that everyone's voice is heard. This practice reflects the values of community and consensus, emphasizing the importance of dialogue in decision-making processes. By holding the stick, a speaker is granted the opportunity to share their thoughts and feelings, promoting a deeper understanding among participants.Mrs. Helmer's class worked with our Indigenous Support Worker on creating their own talking sticks to understand and use the practice.<div data-lexical-layout-container="true" style="grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr; display: grid;"><div class="editor-layoutItem"><img src="/images/f9107fe7-e3df-53dd-9ba7-a73966f00d6f?fingerprint=ppb20251217040624" alt="uhp4yptv.jpg" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit"> </div><div class="editor-layoutItem"><img src="/images/7bbf0d3d-4f0b-5f72-933b-1213610de59e?fingerprint=ppb20251217034541" alt="git14t8e.jpg" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit"> </div></div>

Walking Together on Orange Shirt Day

100 Mile Elementary

As we learn to walk together, we do so when we cultivate understanding, compassion, and connection. Students of 100 Mile Elementary were able to attend pow wows at both Tsq'escen and T’exelcemc for a first-hand expereience of the healing power and beauty of dance and drum. Primary students that stayed on site created their own orange shirts and statements about how they will move forward as people seeking to make reconciliation reality with statements such as, "I will be kind," "I will try to understand others," and "I will be loving." Intermediate students came together in an assembly to discuss how a legacy of dishonesty and hurt was created upon the first treaties in their misleading and taking advantage of indigenous peoples, and how cultural genocide has had tremendously hurtful and lasting impacts. As a whole school, we then walked together while Mrs. Dixon offered a smudge for any and all members of our school community.<div data-lexical-layout-container="true" style="grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr; display: grid;"><div class="editor-layoutItem"><img src="/images/93d1a32e-0197-51d7-949f-0809cc79a3b3?fingerprint=ppb20251217035020" alt="Image%20(1).jpg" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit"> </div><div class="editor-layoutItem"><img src="/images/5f857bac-0423-5b95-b474-1a0002918b54?fingerprint=ppb20251217034115" alt="Image.jpg" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit"> </div></div>
