Grade 9 Blackfoot Naming Ceremony
Gr. 9 Blackfoot Naming
Gr. 9 Blackfoot Naming
Each year our Grade 9 First Nation, Metis and Inuit Students that do not already have a name can request to receive one. The First Nation, Metis and Inuit Facilitator, Kansas, works the Elders, the family and the student to get prepared to receive a name. This ceremony happens during the school day usually a couple days before the farewell mass. It happens during school hours so the school community can be present and learn the significance of receiving a name.
