Journey from Fisher River

“Fisher River Cree Nation has a history of maintaining community life with teachings about respect and sharing. The isolation created by Covid 19 has been a challenge to our way life and has meant we are unable to feast and share our stories. The recognition of the trauma created by residential and day schools has heightened our frustration and anger. I have learned from Fisher River that we can survive these major challenges by acting in positive ways that create hope for our youth. Our work together in Fisher River will enable us to engage in reconciliation.”
