Indigenous retreat continues

A Nipissing-Parry Sound Catholic District School Board event continues this week at the Canadian Ecology Centre in Mattawa.  The four day event has focused on indigenous culture for school board staff.  George Couchie of the Nipissing First Nation is one of the people helping to run the retreat.  Topics staff are exposed to include an Indigenous history of Canada and Medicine Wheel teachings.  About 25 board employees are part of the retreat and they’re also learning about the impact residential schools had on Aboriginal children.   The school board has been running the indigenous retreat for 10 years and this year’s event wraps up on Friday.
