Hatzic Rock field trip - Nov. 13

Divisions 7&8 had the privilege of travelling to the Xá:ytem Longhouse Interpretive Centre, commonly known as Hatzic Rock, for a presentation of Stó:lo culture, to support the Social Studies curriculum and our study of Aboriginal Culture in the second term. I have enjoy this field trip on many occasions and it never disappoints. We learned a lot about about Stó:lo culture and daily life, traditions and myths. As well, the children made paintbrushes from cedar bark, painted traditional pictographs on rocks, and played traditional games in the pit house. Thank you to our gracious hosts for another great and fun learning experience!

You can learn more about Xá:ytem at their website.
