As part of 4th Grade's Annual Gathering of First Nations, the class made drums last week! Students, teacher Abigail Hundley and helper parents were honored to be guided by Paul “Che Oke Tan” Wagner, Master of Ceremonies for Potlatch, Potlatch History, Flute and Ceremony at The First Nations Gathering here at WIWS since 2016. Paul Che’oke’ten Wagner is an internationally performing presenter of traditional songs and stories of his Coast Salish tribal ancestors. Che’oke’ten is a member of the Wsaanich (Saanich) Tribe of southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia. We look forward to Paul coming to us every year and hope that he can continue into 2023. Thank you, Paul! Congratulations, 4th Grade - your drums are so special.
