Blanket Ceremony
A blanket ceremony held Wednesday, January 23 honoured longtime University of Â鶹´«Ã½ Indigenous language instructors Ida Bear and Annie Boulanger, for their commitment to teaching Indigenous languages.
They have been instrumental in teaching Ojibway and Cree here at The University of Â鶹´«Ã½, said Indigenous Academic Lead Lorena Fontaine. We are very honoured and privileged to have them, and so grateful for the work they've done for us. It is also a great honour to have elders from Manitoba Aboriginal Languages Strategy here to assist with the ceremony.
