What's Your Treaty Story?

In the Classroom

Trish Steadman and Véronique Gibson of École Crane School in Winnipeg are leading their students on a journey to learn about residential schools and the impact they had on First Nations people and their culture. Their students took part in a national project called Project of Heart. They painted, decorated and glued 1,000 small wooden tiles to create a stunning mosaic. Each tile bears a symbol of the Indigenous culture. To learn more about École Crane School’s great work, click the button below.
