Medicine Man, Hugh Lerat, Visits HS 20

It was a real pleasure to have Elder Hugh Lerat speak to our Health Science 20 class. Hugh is a Cree Indian from Cowessess First Nation who has been praticing Indigenous Medicine for many years. Taught by his Grandma, Hugh shared with our class many stories about his culture's rituals. This included the Sweat Lodge, the Sun Dance, and the Pipe Ceremony. He also packed with him many of his medicines for us to see. Here are some of the photos from today's class.
