Naming the West : Stories Siksika Chief Nato-Sapi School

Siksika Elder Story 1:
Chief Nato-Sapi School

Now there’s a difference. Many of you, I don’t expect you to follow this.

Old Sun School was run by military staff. Crowfoot school was run by the father and the nuns. Over here, the priest just came back from the war, Sgt. Major Mr. Cole.  Our boy’s supervisor was Captain Miller, and we were all treated like little soldiers. That’s why most of us from the west end ended up in the army, the Canadian Army or the US Army, because the way we were brought up, discipline. And discipline, you got to pay every day.
