 Oskayak High School has a long history here in Saskatoon. Back in the early 80s, it was known as the Saskatoon Native Survival School. It was a vision of a number of Indigenous people in Saskatoon to create a school for Indigenous students, to share cultural practices, spiritual practices, and to customize an educational experience for Indigenous students. It was then renamed Joe Duquette High School in honor of an elder that was here and had done a great deal of work with the school. A few years ago it was renamed again Oskayak High School, the kree word for young people. Again, turning the school over to the students and revisioning it so that it would be a place where young Indigenous students could come and celebrate their culture and their spirituality, their practices, and be in a place where education could be customized for their needs. We offer Plains Kree language. What we use that for is that that really provides us with the basis for the cultural identity of the school. As we integrate the culture and the language, we're providing our students with an opportunity to fully immerse themselves in that language program. As with many programs where we have the culture and the language are almost inseparable, and so we see that as being something here that's very advantageous for our students as they move forward to know their their their language. The program here, the school offers a program to really everyone from age 14 to age 21, so all of the school age students that are here from grade 9 to 12 and also in our adult 12 program. So we have students all the way all the way through from ages 14 to 21 involved in in the language acquisition and the cultural programming. We see this as being an evolving program. We speak with our students on a regular basis asking them what their wants and their needs are and so as we evolve the program we're hoping that it better meets the needs of the current students while always tying it back to the heritage and to the culture of the students in the program. We find that by doing that it better connects them with who they are and really helps them to focus on who they want to be. I think the benefits here are that we are not, our school is not trying to offer something, a program or programming or pedagogy, culturally responsive pedagogy for First Nations students. That's what we do. All the students here are First Nations and many of them comment that they they feel like their anxiety is reduced and they feel much more comfortable here because we have our elders, we have our cultural advisors and we have other students that are indigenous and so they find that there's much more commonality than in kind of in in other high schools in the city or in the province.
