NAN youth represented at Blueprint for the Future Conference in Yellowknife
Hello, everyone in NAN country.
We are having an excellent visit in Yellowknife, N.W.T. The people, scenary, food are wonderful. We experienced many benefits to being in this part of the country.
The Dene and regional First Nations groups are very proud of their language, culture, arts and crafts, lifestyle and have been more than willing to share their culture with us.
The Blueprint for the Future Conference, hosted by the National Aboriginal Achievement Foundation was amazing featuring Tamara Podemski, and many other First Nations role models.
The life lessons that were gained through this career fair will hopefully be life impacting with the benefits pouring right back into the NAN communities.
It has been our privledge to take ten NAN youth to Canada's far north as part of an investment in their lives. We fly back home tomorrow a.m. and are looking forward to being back in our territory.
