A group of Grade 5 students portraying a First Nations people from the eastern woodlands, at left, share portions of dried meat jerky with their friends, during a presentation on First Nations peoples to Sheryl Ehman’s class at St. Michael School on Feb. 5. At left are Jayke Smolinski, Ashton Erickson, handing a piece of jerky to Falynn Bell at right, and in the background, Megan Ebel and Aaliyah McLean. Each group of students had to do research on a First Nations group from a particular geographic region of Canada, and then had to portray the customs and traditions of that people in a short play for the class.
