INFO Request - NAJA Alerts, Student Projects, Seminar - Senate Passes Indian Health Bill
Hello there! - My name is Daniel Larson-Knight and I'm a student at Trent University.
I am taking a course on residential schools and our assignment is to present a healing model to the class. I am studying the possibility of scouting as being a method of healing for the children effected by the residential schools.
The post about the Metis Scout troup is most encouraging. I was wondering if you could put me in touch with anyone that could describe the methods being used by the group.
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to this,
Sincerly,
