What's Your Treaty Story?
In the Classroom
Strathmillan School teacher, Barbara Engel engages her students in Treaty Talks. “We talked about who we all were. We talked about the gifts we all brought to the classroom. We read and had a discussion about the Seven Sacred Teachings … In September of 2020, an unprecedented time for all, our class (which now had new members) re-read our Treaty. We read, and we talked, and we asked ourselves: "Do we still believe in these promises?" Each student, during individual conferencing and then as a group, agreed! We then all spoke our Treaty, and our classmates live out our Treaty every day! It is an absolute pleasure being in Treaty with these young learners.”
