Two hundred and sixty one small, colourful tiles lined the tables of St. Bernadette School on Thursday.
Their designs were different, but many of them shared similar themes. A number of hearts could be seen — some full, others broken. Many crosses were also displayed to mark a gravesite. Also noticeable were the messages of love.
By creating these tiles, the elementary students from Regina were honouring aboriginal children who died in residential schools.

Mike Pinay, an elder on Peepeekisis First Nation, was present during Thursday’s ceremony. He and other members of his family have suffered through residential schools. Pinay went to Lebret Indian Residential School from the age of six until he was 16.
