National Indigenous Peoples Day
June 21st is National Indigenous Peoples Day. It is a time to recognize and celebrate the traditions, cultures and contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Metis. June is also National Indigenous History Month in Canada, a time to recognize the rich history, resilience and diversity of all First Nations in Canada. As a learning community at HCOS/Flex, we commit to listening, learning and growing in understanding.
We believe this observance allows our students to embody the HCOS Biblical Attributes of Community and Restoration. The Community attribute reminds us that “Students will discover that they have a unique role to play in a living and growing community; they will seek to discover their own gifts and skills, and to affirm the gifts and skills of others.” The Restoration attribute calls us to be "compassionate peacemakers and participants in God's mission to bring about the restoration and reconciliation of all things according to His intention for creation."
