THEY DIDN’T KNOW WE WERE SEEDS

Cecile Smith Speers, SK

When I first met Cecile, she was working at a Saskatoon community school with a large Indig- enous population; a school that made great effort to ensure students connected to Indigenous and Métis traditions. Cecile helped organize Métis dance groups. She found great comfort and healing in reclaiming her traditional Cree spiritual traditions and practices, from which her residential school experience had separated her.
