Abstract
Art, skateboards, and reconciliation are the seemingly incongruous elements Micheal Langan, second-year Education student with SUNTEP (Saskatchewan Urban Native Teacher Education Program), combines to get out a message to local high schoolers about Canada's colonial past and lingering negative influence.
Using images of residential school classrooms, Langan started designing unique graphics to apply to a series of skateboards. "It's a tough history to take in, but it's an important part of our history that we have to talk about," said Langan.
