Our class has been enthralled this week by the chapter book Tâpwê and the Magic Hat, which we just started reading. It is by Cree author and songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie, and is inspired by Indigenous traditions. The boy Tâpwê lives on a prairie reserve and is gifted a magic hat by his kohkom (grandmohter). So far, it seems like Tâpwê is about to embark on quite the adventure! We are very lucky to be working Parkland School Division's Indigenous Education Coordinator Geri Wu on this novel study, and we've already learned so much about Indigenous culture.
