Indigenous Education and Inclusivity at Holy Cross Catholic Secondary


Interview with James Brake, Principal of Holy Cross Catholic Secondary School about the various initiatives at the school to address the need for reconciliation, meet the needs of Indigenous students, and promote inclusivity and learning about Indigenous peoples and histories.

Please note: The quality of the audio and video in each interview on NCCIE.CA may vary. NCCIE has been a capacity- and skills-building project for students and youth. They have been "learning-through-doing," learning how to arrange and conduct interviews while, at the same time, gaining experience with the technology.

Photo of Turtle Island Medicine Wheel Garden

School created Turtle Island medicine wheel garden. All plants are planted within the quadrants of the garden. There are just the blue junipers on the outside to be planted to represent the water on which Turtle Island floats. All plants in the garden have sacred or medicinal purpose.

Faceless Dolls Project

The students at Holy Cross participated in the NWAC’s Faceless Doll Project. It is a collection of faceless felt dolls that will
be used to create a traveling art exhibit in memory of the missing and murdered Aboriginal women and girls in Canada.
