Kapawe’no First Nation – Through Mr. Boh Kubrakovich-Kiniw’s program, Osâwâpiskâw Asapap (The Golden Thread) Grade 8/9 students at Buffalo Bay Academy immerse themselves in key historical documents and events, including The Doctrine of Discovery and Canada’s Supreme Court Ruling on First Nation Sovereignty. They engage in reading, writing, circles and presentations, enriching their comprehension of these important events and topics.
This collaborative learning experience, crafted alongside Mrs. Charlene Noskey and Ms. Sherry Bellegarde, probes the intricacies of sovereignty, governance, and treaties both oral and written and pre crown and now current. Osâwâpiskâw Asapap sheds light on the ongoing impact on First Nation-settler relations in Canada, allowing students to scrutinize historical narratives, interpretations, and implications critically.
Incorporating the 7 Sacred Grandmother and Grandfather Teachings along with Kapawe’no First Nation Codes/Laws, the modules provide a holistic perspective. They lay the foundation for understanding, nurturing informed dialogue, and envisioning the path forward in future relations and developments.
