Fort Severn elders teach young people traditional practices
Fort Severn Chief and Council worked with their community elders and youth to support their nine day wilderness canoe trip from Beaver Lake back to their community and homes. Two elders and eighteen young people worked together to complete this trip of living off the land, harvesting wild game each day. The group hunted and fished along the journey. They made it back to Fort Severn late last night after a long day of paddling.
Cal Kenny from Keewaytinook Okimakanak who joined the elder's trip last fall, was asked once again to join this adventure in order to video tape and document this year's journey. The elder's trip last fall can be seen at http://fortsevern.firstnation.ca/washaho. Be sure to watch for Cal's next on-line production about this exciting trip.
