A northern Manitoba chief says she ll be looking to her community for input on what to rename a school, after it was recently discovered it held the name of someone who played a role in the residential school system. In some way I m thinking … a Cree name. That would mean a lot, said O-Pipon-Na-Piwin Cree Nation Chief Shirley Ducharme.
