Back from Ogoki Post - March 21 - Wrap up

"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.
