Iinii Insights |
Dehuntshigwa’es (Lacrosse) is known as The Creator’s Game and originates from Indigenous nations across Turtle Island, especially the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy. It was traditionally played not just for sport, but for healing, spiritual connection, community building, and conflict resolution.
The game was often played to give thanks, to bring people together, and to strengthen both physical and spiritual wellness. Matches could involve hundreds of players and last for days. Every part of the game from the handcrafted wooden sticks to the ceremonies before play carried cultural and spiritual significance.
Today, lacrosse continues to honour these roots, reminding us that sport can be about respect, connection, wellness, and community, not just competition.

Kitsikakomimm Day- Valentine’s Day
As Valentine’s Day approaches, we want to ensure everyone is on the same page regarding our class celebration. At Niitsitapi Learning Centre, we believe in spreading kindness, connection, and joy and Valentine’s Day is a wonderful opportunity to do just that.
If you would like to contribute, you are welcome to send Valentine’s cards for your child to share with classmates on February 11. Children will need to sign their own names at home before bringing the cards to school, so everyone feels included and part of the celebration. If you’re able, please feel free to send a few extra cards to help spread the joy even further.
Please know there is no obligation to participate every child’s presence, kindness, and enthusiasm are what truly make our class special. Your child’s joy and sense of belonging are the greatest gifts of all.
Toy Policy| No Toys
This is a friendly reminder that toys from home should remain at home and not be brought to school.
Personal toys can become distracting during learning time and may also be lost or cause conflict between students. To help us maintain a focused and safe learning environment for all, we ask that children do not bring toys to school unless specifically requested by their teacher for a planned activity. Any toys brought to school will be collected by staff and returned at the end of the day.
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation.
