Drumming with Métis elder Dolorès Gosselin

This week the students in grades 1-4 had the opportunity to spend time with Dolorès Gosselin, a Métis Knowledge Keeper from the Red River area. She tells stories of cultural significance, and is knowledgeable about traditions and local history. 

She taught each class about her drums, how they were made and the meaning behind each one. The students listened to her drumming and tried it out for themselves! At the end of the day everyone came together to have a celebration to kick off the first day! The 1/2’s showed off their treaty vests that they made with Mr. Stevenson and the 3/4’s presented a song about the signing of treaties. 

The grades 1-4 students will be having lessons throughout the year with Dolorès Gosselin around the 7 Sacred Teachings. They look forward to their next sessions with her.
