It\u2019s a focal point for positive discussion.<\/p>\n<p>At the ceremony Saturday, which was organized by Brock\u2019s Aboriginal Student Organization, new Brock Chancellor Shirley Cheechoo sang a healing song in her native language while others said prayers and played traditional drums. Brock\u2019s Elder in Residence Carol Jacobs and President Jack Lightstone also spoke about the significance of the tree.<\/p>\n\n\t    <style type='text\/css'>\n\t        #gallery-876000334 {\n\t            margin: 0 auto 50px auto !important;\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-876000334 ul {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: 0 !important;
