许多人受到了第三届原住民教育演讲系列活动上有趣、引人入胜、口齿流利的演讲者的启发。该活动邀请领先的原住民思想家分享他们对通过教育实现和解的看法。该活动是与Pathways Community Association合作规划，并得到卡尔加里基金会的支持。

“演讲系列展示了许多原住民已经取得了巨大成功，并且在从事自己梦想的职业。像我这样的原住民看到了这种可能性。任何事情都是可能的，”Jack James High School的青年规划员和学生Kai说。

超过40名学生参加了互动研讨会，在那里他们学习了摄影、电影制作和演讲技巧。约有100人参加了晚间活动，该活动对CBE的所有职员、学生和更广大的社区开放。来自Southern Alberta的Piikani和Kainai部落的Blackfoot血统的屡获殊荣的电影制片人Cowboy Smithx，来自Kainaiwa部落的Blackfoot Confederacy的摄影师和艺术家Blaire Russell，以及Wandering Spirit Company通过他们的艺术形式分享了他们个人的和解行动。

感谢来自Jack James、Forest Lawn、Discovering Choices、Ernest Morrow和Samuel W. Shaw Schools的青年和毕业教练为组织和策划这个精彩的活动。

​Many people were inspired by funny, engaging and articulate speakers at the third Indigenous Education Speaker Series held at the Aboriginal Learning Centre on June 9. The events invite leading Indigenous thinkers to share their perspectives about reconciliation through education. It is planned in partnership with Pathways Community Association and supported by the Calgary Foundation.

“The Speaker Series shows that there are Aboriginals who have made it big and are doing their dream careers. Aboriginals such as myself see that it is possible. That anything is possible,” says Kai, youth planner and student at Jack James High School.

More than 40 students participated in interactive workshops where they learned about photography, filmmaking and public speaking. Approximately 100 people attended the evening event, which was open to all CBE staff, students and the greater community. Cowboy Smithx an award winning filmmaker of Blackfoot ancestry from the Piikani and Kainai tribes of Southern Alberta, Blaire Russell a photographer and artist from Kainaiwa tribe of the Blackfoot Confederacy, and the Wandering Spirit Company shared their personal acts of reconciliation through art forms.

Thank you to the youth and grad coaches from Jack James, Forest Lawn, Discovering Choices, Ernest Morrow and Samuel W. Shaw Schools for organizing and planning this wonderful event.

It’s about community connection, repairing relationships with the parents and the communities so that we can work together to make school a great place for all kids. – CBE staff member
