On Thursday, October 26th 2017 the L.E.R. Community celebrated Mi'kmaq Heritage in honour of Mi'kmaq History Month and the historic and contemporary contributions of Mi'kmaq culture and practices to the overarching Canadian society.
Students and Staff participated in a variety of activities during the celebration. These activities included drumming & singing, storytelling, Mi'kmaq basketry, moose preservation practices, a medicine talk and luskininkin tasting!
We would like to thank the Mi'kmaq knowledge keepers that came in and shared their teachings with us! Wela'lin to Beckie LaBillois, Nora LaBillois, Sue LaBillois, Patricia Hachey, Colleen Gauvin and Chad Denny! The knowledge you shared with us has been well received.
