 guess some of it would be to keep going and to keep trying and there is being there is great change being made and I guess some of the wonderings is well what do we do now like as far as you know your your support that was provided provincially and I know where do we go to now but I think you know when I hear that and I say well people need to know it's in you like you have what it takes to keep going and so I think that's important to know and for people to believe and understand well the project apart but I think when you're you're sharing like and even throughout today is that and yesterday was we're doing a lot of like the same things like we're headed in the same direction and so sometimes we think like we need to reach outside of our district or school walls to reach out to other people and so like with the project apart e-book and you know that's been exciting because working with you know you've been helping to connect with other districts for the work and it's you know collaborating with other schools across the province and to come together collectively to create something for use for all and we talk about like where is this work going to go and you talk about well ideally in it is to support our kids and our students within the schools but we think it's useful for you know educators community members within our own school communities but provincially and then you know Canada wide and I imagine others outside Canada will look at will look to this resource to to to help them understand you know residential school education from a first nation maintenance perspective from Alberta we're all working on a lot of the the same things and so you know we talk about well we don't need to reinvent the wheel because that is wasting our time and that we could work together to collaborate and share and then move forward and so people are anyone is more than welcome to access our resources in our website and we encourage people to make them their own because what works for MS in public schools doesn't necessarily work for all but it's a good starting point and so we we work hard on trying to role model you know the idea of generosity for others and I know for some people they they are shy to share their resources because they feel that others might may judge them or you know evaluate their resources but I think we need to move past that and to think about we're doing it for our kids and you know working hard to help support first nation maintenance students and eliminating the achievement gap and supporting first nation maintenance education and culture and building capacity within our school systems to support our kids our first nation maintenance education team we just want to be like massive district wide everyone is going to do this and it's mandated that everyone has to implement this resource or more make this change but we know that to make effective sustainable change we need to completely no one understand the reason why we're doing what we do and we to personally believe in what we're doing and so I think the change it it takes time and and you know talk talk about celebrating the small small successes within schools within system leaders and you know it's like we were thrilled when our superintendent and our board of trustees were willing and wanted to go through the blanket exercise and that is just been amazing and and I find it's you know when we talk about our circle of influence and you know when you impact that one person we know that they will impact others and it will continue to grow and grow and so to have faith in the process and to trust the process because I see it happening and it's just been absolutely amazing you know when we talk about reconciliation and knowing that our superintendent is you know completely 100% on board and believe strongly in that and when you have someone like our superintendent that can role model that for others is very effective and it's just it has been amazing and I'm quite proud of the work that our district is doing so it makes me happy well every talk about relationships right and building relationships with people to to trust that you're going to take them in the right place because you know I know you and we talked about I don't know what I don't know right and it's well you they you need to build that relationship with them so they trust that what you're gonna what you're gonna share and where you're gonna take them is a place that's authentic and meaningful and they continue to grow off of that I would like to share it with all of our lead teachers and our upcoming lead teacher sessions and so I would like for teachers to to experience it because I know with the blanket exercise we did that with our lead teachers and it has been phenomenal the amount of people that have requested it either in their classrooms or for their staff meetings so I feel that that will happen with the brand game I feel it's another avenue for people to to reflect on their own understanding of historical and contemporary realities for our First Nation Métis and anyone students families and community members so I know that for for some people it's you you share with them something but sometimes it's not that what they want to hear at that moment and so using different tools to help inspire people to want to keep moving forward so I I feel the brand game is another one of those great learning tools that we can share with our district you know I was excited about this day but I I guess reflecting now I just feel like you know it's been great having you as a resource as a go-to person and you have shared so much within the time that you have been with them and like joining the supporting our district so I guess I just want to thank you thank you so much I look forward I know that when people are involved in in this work it it isn't because they have to do something it's because they want to do something and so I am thank you because I know that your heart is in the right place
