Indigenous and Cree Class

Cultural

Guided by a knowledge keeper, Sweetgrass Warrior, Crystal Kids have been able to learn more about their Cree culture through experiences outside of the city, and at the centre. This past summer, the older girls at Crystal Kids went to Alexander First Nation for a Sweat. At Crystal Kids, we have events for cultural activities such as rattle-making, ribbon-skirt making and beading. It’s a special way to learn cultural skills right in your neighbourhood. Learn more about the land you live on and your own culture.

Cree Class

Crystal Kids can learn Nēhiyawēwin (Plains Cree) through Creating Hope Society’s Oskayak (Youth Wanting to Know Cree) program. Cree language teachers come in every Monday with fun activities such as card-making, beading and games to help the youth learn the language. Kids learn words and phrases to speak more Cree with their families and friends. So far, there have been classes on greetings, animals, action words, as well as many other useful topics. Beginners and learners of all levels are welcome! Creating Hope Society also brings in speakers and storytellers, and puts on culture camps.
