Principal's Message

At Hixon Elementary we are grateful to be working and learning on the unceded ancestral lands of the Lheidli T'enneh First Nation whom have been part of these lands for at least 9 000 years. On Lheidli T'enneh's ancestral lands we honour them in their Dakelh dialect: Lheidli T'enneh hubeh keyoh whuts'odelhti. Nts'ezla hubeh yun ts'uwhut'i, ts'uzt'en ink'ez ts'unuwhulyeh. We respectfully acknowledge the unceded ancestral lands of the Lheidli T'enneh, on whose land we live, work and play.
