The Calgary Hitmen and Siksika Health Services honoured Indigenous culture and history through their fourth annual Every Child Matters hockey game Saturday.
Created by two local artists, the sweaters shine a light on important culture and language. “It provides me, the Hitmen, our fans and our players a chance to learn,” team VP Mike Moore said. “It means so many things, like building relationships and partnerships with the Indigenous culture and the Siksika Nation.”
“The idea is to teach the history of what happened to us through sport,” Phyllis Webstad said. “It’s treating Indigenous people as human beings, because we haven’t always been treated that way. And that, for me, is the biggest thing.”The fourth Every Child Matters game was presented with help by the Aboriginal Friendship Centre of Calgary, the Blackfoot Confederacy, First Nations Health Consortium and Siksika Family Services.
