Regina's Sacred Heart school honours Indigenous students, late elder with buffalo

"Education is the new buffalo" is something the late elder Mike Pinay used to tell staff and students at Regina's Sacred Heart Community School, according to Principal David Magnusson.

The school is changing the name of its sports teams from the Stars to the Buffalo and will now have a buffalo within the halls of the school's new building which opened earlier this year, a way to honour the connection to the First Nations culture in the area and Pinay's teachings.
