5/5 Jewels F. 7 months ago on Google
Me
and
my
boyfriend
came
across
this
store
spontaneously
as
we
were
sight
seeing.
The
exterior
of
the
store
is
inviting
and
welcoming
and
the
owners
are
the
same.
I
wish
I
had
gotten
their
names,
but
they
were
extremely
kind.
The
lady
informed
us
of
a
Powwow
that
is
taking
place
in
2
weeks
that
we
are
extremely
excited
to
attend.
The
inside
of
the
centre
is
breathe
taking.
We
could
have
spent
the
entire
day
there
looking
at
all
the
artwork,
clothing,
books,
etc.
As
a
teacher,
I
picked
up
a
few
books
for
my
classroom
to
share
with
my
students.
We
wear
orange
shirts
for
Canada's
National
Day
for
Truth
and
Reconcilliation.
We
also
have
an
orange
flag
waving
in
the
front
of
our
school
in
commemoration
and
honour
of
the
lives
lost
in
residential
schools,
the
survivors
and
communities
impacted.
On
the
daily
announcement
the
principal
gives
a
brief
spiel
of
appreciation
to
the
First
Nations,
Metis
and
Indigenous
people.
Yet
our
classrooms
still
do
not
have
adequate
books
to
spread
awareness
and
knowledge
of
the
history.
The
reason
we
wear
orange
shirts
and
why
these
announcements
take
place
is
missing.
The
truth
and
the
reason
are
interchangeable.
I
am
told
it
is
because
the
books
are
to
graphic,
gruesome,
sensitive
or
not
age
appropriate.
Which
is
far
from
the
truth.
These
books
are
the
truth
and
my
question
was
how
can
we
fully
reconcile
without
knowing
the
truth?
I
want
to
educate
my
students
to
be
knowlegable,
kind,
respectful
and
compassionate.
This
store
has
the
most
beautiful
resources
and
I
am
graciously
thankful.
Would
highly
recommend
to
stop
by
if
you
are
in
the
area.
