"Think of love like teaching math. How can you teach math when you don't know it? It's the same with love, you cannot give love if you don't love yourself. To accept yourself means you accept others even if it is a person you struggle to love. Love flows easily through and out of me. Being a loving person can teach you not to judge and to learn how to love yourself in return." - Cazea, gr 6 student

What is important in your life? What cultural teachings guide you? How do we overcome difficult times and persevere?
Grade 6 students at McKitrick Community School examined questions about life challenges and the teachings that help them overcome adversity and trauma, build courage and enhance healing. The students turned their gaze inward, to consider their own story, their personal values, virtues and the qualities they see in themselves. Their written reflections and art work illustrate their understanding of the Sacred Teachings, sometimes also called the Seven Grandfather Teachings (Anishnaabe) and also Sweetgrass Teachings (Nēhiyawēwin or Cree nation).
In Living Sky School Division we acknowledge our ancestors who came before, our wise families and mentors who help us feel grounded and connected to community and the land here on Treaty 6 territory.
