2017-20

Ocênas is a day-long game in which participants (10-14 year olds) learn through a combination of listening, art, and group play about Indigenous economics, social justice, art, history, and other ways of being and knowing. I ran a version of the game in the mid-1980s when I worked for the City of Calgary. In 2007, I conducted two versions, then called “City,” with 120 children and a dozen volunteers at Crossing Boundaries: Investigating the nexus of arts, education and community conference, University of Regina. In 2017, I revived the game with Frederick Dupre, and Indigenized it with knowledge keeper Rodger Ross who renamed it Ocênas. We conducted three or four sessions a year (2017-20), mostly in the French School system in Regina, but also with the mâmawêyatitân centre (Regina), and schools in Moose Jaw, Saskatoon, and North Battleford. In 2019 we partnered with the Buffalo People Institute, and received funding from SaskCulture.
