Cultural Teachings in the Classroom

Cost per Participant: $4 for members / $6 for non-members
First Nations cultures and traditions are diverse in Saskatchewan. Understanding and informing the "new" teacher is as important as learning any other culture in the world. The Saskatchewan Indian Cultural Center released a book in 2009 called “Cultural Teachings: First Nations Protocols and Methodologies”. This book provides a guide to appropriate traditional etiquette for individuals attending ceremonial activities of First Nations people in Saskatchewan. It will also answer general questions about the appropriate dress for attending ceremonies for men and women, appropriate dress for attending sweatlodge ceremonies and what is expected for each person who attends feasts. Cultural Teachings speaks to how culture impacts the different communities and how recognizing and respecting these differences can play a role in the teaching of a First Nations child.

Planning has begun for the 2011 Education Graduation Banquet!
Grad Student Nomination forms (Valedictorian, MC, etc) are available in the ESS office and are due February 3rd, 2011. Suggestions for Keynote Speaker can be forwarded to Chantal (cdo263@mail.usask.ca).
Grad Award Nominations forms (Instructor of the Year, Co-operating Teacher of the year, etc) are also available in the ESS office and are due March 2nd, 2011.
There is still plenty of room for volunteers on the Grad Committee; those who aren’t graduating this spring are particularly encouraged to volunteer, as they are essential to the successful execution of the big day. It’s an excellent opportunity to see how grad works and what you might want to do the same or differently when it’s your turn.
Two grad fundraisers are currently planned; there will be a Steak Night March 4th at Mulberry’s and a Bake Sale on Feb 14th in the Education Building. More details to come.
