Culture days will be starting across the country tomorrow, focused on preserving indigenous cultures and celebrating diversity.
At Smithers Secondary School, social studies Teacher Jon Goalder will be teaching the impacts of globalization on indigenous communities internationally.
He says indigenous students are often shy about their cultural pride.
“I would say First Nations kids are still reluctant to speak with pride about their culture in a classroom setting. We also want to do justice to them as we’re teaching courses make sure that their history is being recognized as well.”
There will be culture days activities around the town of Smithers with a scavenger hunt put on by the library and Wet’suwet’en story telling Saturday, 3 p.m. at Bovill Square.
