‘The Boreal Forest: Our Land, Our Stories, Our Responsibility’
A celebration of the leadership and commitment of Aboriginal communities in the conservation and sustainable development of the Boreal forest.
The event is dedicated to Aboriginal leaders and youth who share their stories from the Boreal Forest, both successes and challenges.
In addition, the event showcases Aboriginal music and culture.
We have three wonderful Aboriginal Leaders who will share their personal stories:
• Chief Paul Gull, Cree First Nation of Waswanipi
• Stephen Kakfwi, former Premier of the NWT and former Dene Nation President
• Grand Chief Matthew Coon Come, Grand Council of the Crees
Innu artist Kathia Rock from Maliotenam on Quebec's north-shore will be performing. http://www.socam.net/
