Lac Seul First Nation hosts Aboriginal Healing Foundation board
On Friday evening, Lac Seul community members gathered in the Frenchman's Head community centre for a night of feasting, laughing, dancing and sharing with the board members from the Aboriginal Healing Foundation.
Garnet Angeconeb, a Lac Seul member and AHF board member, worked with the team from Lac Seul's Biiwaseya Healing Project to invite the healing foundation board to host their meeting in the Lac Seul traditional territory. The Friday evening celebration concluded their three day visit to the area.
The Biiwaasaya Healing Project is an innovative Lac Seul multi-year residential school healing project that has been operating since 2004 with funding support from the Aboriginal Healing Foundation.
AHF also funded Northern Nishnawbe Education Council for the construction of a memorial garden and gathering space for the survivers and their families at the site of the former Pelican Falls Residential School.
