Elder Jackie Bromley
On Tuesday, we were honoured to welcome Elder Jackie Bromley back to our school community. She shared her family history and Blackfoot culture and offered meaningful teachings about humility. Elder Jackie spoke about the importance of doing kind deeds and helping others without expecting anything in return. Through her stories, we were reminded that each of us play an important role in our community. Elder Jackie emphasized the value of strengthening our relationships by showing care and respect for one another every day. These visits continue to deepen our understanding of Indigenous ways of knowing through the traditional teachings, stories and wisdom she so generously shares.
