How One Class Honoured Orange Shirt Day

Yesterday in Grade 8 Science, Ms. Hunt shared the teachings of the Medicine Wheel from an Anishinaabe cultural perspective. Together, she and her students explored connections to the environment and the water cycle.  
She also taught her students about the four sacred medicines and talked about her experiences as a trained Fire Keeper with The First People’s House of Learning at Trent University.
 
As one of our new Associate Teachers in the Middle and Senior Schools this year, Ms. Hunt's B.Ed. degree from Trent specializes in Health and Physical Education and First Nations, Métis and Inuit Studies. With a holistic approach to education, she enjoys creating opportunities for students to respect our environment and learn from the land.

Land Acknowledgment

The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
