Our class was very fortunate to have our Red River Valley School Division Knowledge Holder Glenna Henderson - AKA “Cookem Daisey” - visit with us to share stories and bake fried bannock.
Cookem Daisey is a proud member of Sagkeeng FN (Anishinaabe/Ojibway) and Nehiyaw Iskwew (Cree woman) from Peepeekisis First Nations, adopted by her Uncle and Metis Aunt and raised in Treaty 1 Territory.
Glenna understands that the work of reconciliation in the education system is imperative to building strength and confidence in our children and communities. We are proud to work alongside her towards these goals.
