I had a good time in Moose Jaw. I think it was fun. I bonded with people and I talked to some of the local folks, and they were nice to me.
I helped with the Treaty Walk and I had a great time. We were doing this one Treaty Walk and they said, "Let's hold hands and walk down this path in the park." So, I grabbed this lady's hand and walked down the path.
The last day in Moose Jaw we took a picture by the Moose. We made a song and it was good.
I'm glad I went to Moose Jaw.
We are a leadership team at Bert Fox Community High School promoting and facilitating Truth and Reconciliation. We were given our name by Kete-ayah (Elder) Alma Poitras. Using Indigenous ways of knowing, place based education, experiential learning, strength-based philosophies, and workshop facilitation the students earn grade eleven and twelve credits; many students are also able to complete their grade twelve diploma within the year.
