We are excited to announce that selected classes will have the opportunity to visit the Tipi of Huron Perth and learn from Christin Dennis, an Indigenous Educator and Artist. The teepee is located in Gowanstown and classes will be bussed for a morning or afternoon learning opportunity.
Junior classes from each school will have the opportunity to listen to Christin's teachings inside the teepee. Christin will share a story about the Seven Sacred Teachings and connect more teacing about the Mosaic Medicine Wheel in our schools. Students will have an opportunity to ask Christin about his culture and the tipi to finish.
Christin Dennis is a member of Aamjiwnaang First Nation near Sarnia, Ontario. Christin's art can be viewed at https://www.fastmovingcloudflutes.com/index.html#/. He uses a mixed media approach in his work. Combining photography, watercolour, ink, drawing, and various printing techniques, he creates a body of work that explores and embraces his Annishinaabe heritage.
