A group of students at Summerside Intermediate brought Canada s Indigenous history to life recently by participating in a symbolic blanket exercise, with help from P.E.I. s first Mi kmaw poet laureate.
Throughout the one-hour program, the students stood on blankets that represent the land inhabited by Indigenous people that eventually became modern-day Canada.
As the European settlers arrived during the exercise, the blankets got smaller, and some were removed entirely while student narrators took participants through a historical timeline.
