On Tuesday, April 23, over 100 Durham Catholic secondary school students gathered for the first annual Indigenous Student Summit.  The day-long event was organized by the student members of the Indigenous Education Advisory Circle (IEAC) as a way to share their Indigenous culture with fellow students. 

“Our goal is to share our Indigenous culture, history – our community with our fellow Durham Catholic students so ‘We can Walk the Path Together’,” said Noah Clouthier, Member of the DCDSB's Student Indigenous Education Advisory Circle.

Students listened to Robert Cutting as he shared the First Nation’s history and the creation of Turtle Island through traditional storytelling. Students also participated in hands-on workshops focused on:

• Beading;
• Lacrosse;
• Ojibwe Language; and
• Métis Drumming.
