Making Medicine Pouches

Medicine Pouches made by students

Recently, Grade 4/5 EES students learned about the history of Medicine pouches and their importance for some Indigenous peoples. 

During these lessons, they learned about the four sacred medicines -- tobacco, sweet grass, sage and cedar and how the medicine pouch is used to carry these important medicines. 

The students made their own, as well as a booklet, which outlined the importance of medicine pouches to Indigenous cultures, and what the students felt was important about their own pouches.
