For the Earth Day Assembly, we took on the Indigenous Perspective.
We explored the following questions: What was Treaty 7? What is a land acknowledgement? Why do we do them? How can we create and acknowledgement that is meaningful?
Then, we created our own, filmed it and presented it at the Earth Day Assembly.
I learned that the treaties between the indigenous people and the settlers were not respected. - Atticus
Another thing is there was a very strong connection between the Indigenous people and the land. You can see this by looking at a place/landmark like mokinstis and how it is still a very nice area because they kept it that way for so many years. - MM
When you make your own land acknowledgement it will feel more special and show the person you worked hard to make it. It shows much more respect then using someone else's - Fox
What I liked about this project was how weren't just copying a land acknowledgement we were making our own - Milu
It was important to create our own land Acknowledgement to show that we really care about indigenous people. I learned that many of the promises given to indigenous people were broken. I enjoyed that I got to be in the video. - Davyd
I enjoyed doing the land acknowledgement videos to show to our school and learning about the indigenous people before us. Also doing the world map and just overall everything! - Viljo
