“While one cannot erase the turmoil that the Indigenous people have experienced and still experience to this day, one can attempt to sew it back together.” Those were but the many words printed on several banners showcased at the Russell Public School, on May 6, during the fourth annual Truth and Reconciliation Commis- sion Gathering. “We organize the event so students can learn about Indegenous culture, arts and food,” said Bill Montgomery of the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) and organizer of the event. “We’ve had close to 250 students participate this year. It’s been a great turnout.” A total of 16 schools from the UCDSB took part in the initiative, including Cam- bridge Public School. The four-day event was held at three locations across the region. The gathering is organized by the schoolboard in order to increase awareness of Indigenous culture and history.

Indigenous Knowledge Keepers, Elders, Cultural Advisors, Senators and Indigenous community partners. Amongst them was Manitok Thompson, an Inuk elder. “I am a first Canadian,” she said to the attentive crowd. “I am proud of it. English has never

been my language. I am simply borrowing it.” The elder lit a ceremonial fire, all the while describing her colorful clothing. “My people lived through snow and the elements,” she explained. “They lived in isolation, with nothing for miles away.”
