Parte BB-0232-002 - Wooden post, barbed wire, and stone from Fort Alexander Residential School

Items from Fort Alexander School submitted by Theodore "Ted" Fontaine" at the Alberta National Event. Theodore Fontaine, during his Expression of Reconciliation, described the items in his speech: "They're not a memento of pride and joy but of a remembrance and reconciliation. There was a piece of barbwire that incarcerated us, wood from a wall that divided us, and a stone which formed part of the residential school and grounded us to the earth."

• Worn wooden post, 53 cm long, from Fort Alexander Residential School.
• Rusty barbed wire from Fort Alexander Residential School.
• Stone wrapped and tied in red cloth. All items wrapped together in large red cloth.
