Former Piikani Nation chief Peter Strikes With a Gun, with elder Jeannie Provost at his side, has been sharing his knowledge with Indigenous and non-Indigenous people for many years. Last week, he presented eagle feathers to 12 graduating students from Piikani Nation Secondary School to honour their achievements. June is National Indigenous History Month, providing an opportunity to hear stories that convey the traditions and history of Canada’s Indigenous Peoples. Thank you, Peter, for sharing your wisdom. Photos from the feather-blessing ceremony will be part of the graduation feature in next week’s issue of the Breeze.
