Some of the first ever visitors to kihcihkaw askî, [are] soaking up the traditions of the original Treaty 6 people [at kihcihkaw askî].

“You can understand the [Cree] culture, and understand people [from] that culture better,” remarked Emry Riemer, 9, Blossoming Flower Land-Based Education participant.

[kihcihkaw askî is] the perfect place to pilot this land-based school; something long called for by the Elders.

“This is about planting seeds of sustainability so that future generations can co-exist in peace, love, [and] friendship. Just as Treaties were the foundation for us to exist here in peace, love and friendship,” said Jodi Calahoo-Stonehouse, Executive Director of the Yellowhead Indigenous Education Foundation.
