Here is a message from Ms. Raino:
Last Friday I invited Mr. Thomas, another UBC student
teacher, to share a story from his nation with our class. Mr. Thomas is from
the Secwepemc nation, currently known as the Shushwap Lake region, and we were
very fortunate to have him share a sacred story with us. He is an excellent
story teller and we were all captivated by his words. As Mr. Thomas said, it is
a miracle that the stories of his people survived the Indian Act and
Residential School era and were passed down to him through many generation
before finally reaching our class.
Ms. Raino, Miss Kelly, & Mrs. Soper
