Coal Tyee's 2nd Annual Aboriginal Culture Day

On Thursday, May 17, Coal Tyee held its second Aboriginal Culture Day coordinated by Ms. Linda Walls, our Aboriginal Education Assistant.  It was a fabulous day that began with a school wide assembly which included drumming and dancing by some of our students.  They wore the amazing vests and shawls they had made.



Smoked Salmon and Bannock






Following the assembly, classes rotated through various stations which were led by community volunteers.  The students experienced bead making, listening to stories, playing the Bone game and eating bannock and smoked fish.


Storytelling



It was a great day that was enjoyed by all.   A very special Coal Tyee thank you goes out to all those that helped make this day possible!
