In October 2014, a space was created at Oilfields High School for FNMI (First Nations, Metis and Inuit) students, and the students called it ‘Turtle Lodge’. As Oilfields has approximately 50 FNMI students, this place has become a great place for our students to meet, and hang out.
Local Elders Rayden Rollinmud, Darren Twoyoungmen and Oilfields teacher Shelley Young were asked to smudge the space, which is well utilized by our students, of whom many also are now attending a FNMI cultural gathering every Wednesday afternoon.
