"This was our second visit with the students and community of Ogoki Post, (Marten Falls First Nation). This is a beautiful community which now has a fully equipped Arena; a gathering place for the kids and their parents. The students are slowly getting to know us a little more, and we are getting to know the community members. There's a sense of pride building in Ogoki Post. It was so nice to meet Chief Moonias on the ice. He was skating for the first time in more than a decade. The eleven minute movie and song that the students wrote and filmed with us centres around water. Ice on the rink and the fast water in the Albany River. What a delightful time we had!" reflected by Cathy Elliott, DAREarts Artist as Teacher in the Aboriginal ‘First Roots” program.
