Saint Peter Public School’s Native American Parent Advisory Committee (NAPAC) sponsored its End of the Year Celebration on Friday in the Saint Peter High School gym. The event included food, dancing, and a traditional lacrosse as part of the festivities.
Two students were also honored during the festivities as part of the Indian Education Feather Ceremony. Those two students honored were senior Aamista Maas and eighth grader Jackson Schoenborn. Other students who were honored were Zahara Raymond and Brielle Matheson for Excellence Attendance.
A Feather Ceremony is a tradition in Native American culture that honors a graduating high school student for their accomplishments and offers a blessing as they transition into the next phase of their life. Our graduate received a star quilt that was wrapped around her by our Native American Liaison Charmayne Klah and SPPS NAPAC Chairperson SkyAnne Walker, as well as a feather that was tied in her hair signifying her accomplishments.
Entertainment was provided by Battle Creek Singers, and the guest speaker was Kimilia Decory.
