Tipi blessed in act of reconciliation at Red Deer middle school
Students and staff at St. Thomas Aquinas Middle School engaged in an Indigenous ceremony on Friday.
Local Elder Theresa ‘Corky’ Larsen-Jonasson was on hand to bless a new tipi located in the school’s courtyard.
Created by the Pê Sâkâstêw Healing Lodge, the tipi will be used as a space for talking circles and restorative practices, as well as a space where teachings can take place.
