The hostility and ignorance that is directed towards our country's First Nations people astounds me. If I can do something to combat it, even something small, I have to try.
Here is a positive story I wrote about a reserve that's gotten nothing but negative attention due to a variety of factors. The main one being a flood in 2011 that forced hundreds to evacuate, and the fact that many of these people have still not been able to return home.
Please take a second to read it. I wrote it for my place of employment's newsletter. My goal is to showcase positive stories about Manitoba's First Nation run schools. With so much negativity out there, it's time to start telling the uplifting, hopeful stories. There are just as many of them too. And I'm making it my job to find them and spread the word.
Thanks and enjoy!
Triumph Over Tragedy
