Smudge Ceremony

On Wednesday, October 14, 2015, Joan Smith visited Sacred Heart School to speak to the grade four students about Mi’kmaq culture, traditions and beliefs.  After sharing her artifacts, the students and teachers participated in a song about The Great Eagle. The students had a chance to dance and play a traditional musical instrument.  Then the grade fours met outside in the front of the school where Joan guided them through a Smudge Ceremony.  The students enjoyed Joan’s visit and learning about the Mi’kmaq way of life.  Thank you Joan, for being with us!
