Tucked away in one of the classrooms of St. Bernadette Catholic Elementary School is a group of pre-school aged children.

The children, all of Aboriginal descent, are learning about colors, numbers and letters in English and Cree. Ironically, no Catholicism is taught to the children. Rather they are learning about Native spiritual beliefs; the smudge, a spring ceremony, the different nations and respect of Mother Earth.

The old St. Paul Residential School, which once held unhappy, destructive memories for some Blood people, has been reborn with a new image and a positive attitude. For many years a place where Blood tribe children were pressured to give up their language and culture, the building is now the focal point of a story about self-esteem, cultural affirmation and continuing education. A multimillion dollar transformation has turned the old school into residential apartments for students at nearby Red Crow Community College.

Native participation has added a whole new dimension to archeological work on a site soon to become a housing development in Calgary's west end.

The archeological work, now entering its third year, has uncovered an usual stone circle and evidence of a different climate in the Calgary area thousands of years ago.

But equally interesting is how Native involvement has influenced the archeological dig, said Gerry Oetelaar, assistant professor of archeology at the University of Calgary.
