On June 1, 2026, staff and students from M.V. Beattie Elementary School and Shihiya School came together for a day of learning in recognition of National Indigenous History Month. Students had the opportunity to learn from several Knowledge Keepers, rotating through a variety of engaging, hands-on stations in multi-age groups.

Activities throughout the day included drumming, traditional games, storytelling, and an assembly that brought everyone together in a spirit of respect and community.
