Learning Intention
What did you learn today?
We had a guest speaker today - Randy Bottle (Saa'Kokoto) from the Blackfoot Nation. We gave him an offering of tobacco as a sign of respect and protocol. Ask me what he will use it for? 
How did you show what you learned?
We learned that each time a Blackfoot person begins a different journey, they receive a new name. We also discovered that Blackfoot people don't have last names. 
What do you need to learn next?
He will be returning to our class. 
Some of us would like to learn more Blackfoot words or phrases. 
We will be reading his 2 books that he gave to our class. 
Some of us could bring things into share with our class. 
We would like to ask him more questions about residential schools.
