Our staff and students would like to thank Kendra Jessie for visiting Inner City High School last week. Kendra is an Indigenous wellness advocate, an athlete, a coach, a brand spokesperson, and a content creator. She hails from Sucker Creek First Nation in traditional Treaty 8 Territory in northern Alberta. She uses her Instagram and TikTok platforms to educate people about Indigenous culture and spread awareness about the issues of Indigenous communities as well as inspire future generations. She loves to share her culture through the art of dance, mindful movement, holistic health and cultural practices. Our thanks to The Canadian Native Friendship Centre for connecting Kendra to our school.

Curt Young Visits Inner City Students…
A big thanks to Indigenous musician Curt Young for visiting us yesterday and sharing his music, his teachings, and stories about his dancing and regalia.
It was a powerful performance, so much so that a student even drew him and presented him with the picture!
Our thanks to the Canadian Native Friendship Centre for connecting Curt with us. 🎶🎤
Curt imparted his message that "Music is Medicine, Dancing is Freedom!"
