Students at Beachburg Public School in Beachburg, Ont. saw their education in truth and reconciliation come to life on YouTube in a music video shot for Juno nominated and Cree artist Adrian Sutherland.
Steve Pritchard, a teacher for the Renfrew County District School Board, tells CTV News he heard Sutherland's song"Walk With Me" on the radio, and thought it fit perfectly into the curriculum for indigenous culture and history.
"I was excited about it and I just wanted to totally leave it with them to see what they would do with it," Sutherland tells CTV News. As part of the project, Pritchard says he gave students the opportunity to find ways they could best connect to indigenous culture and history. Harrison says the way her class went about the project was an ideal way for her to learn about truth and reconciliation.
