Children from Long Lake #58 gather at the Matawa Tribal Council annual meeting to share their art, a creative outlet for their pain.
Happy 25th, Matawa
Renee Wesley cuts cake to celebrate Matawa’s 25th anniversary. She works at the band’s community centre in the summer when she is not in school.
Music class
Long Lake #58 is working hard to connect the community’s youth with their traditions.
Shopping for toys
A boy looks at toys in Matawa's Northern store, the fly-in reserve’s only retail outlet.
At the playground
Children walk across a field in front of Webequie’s elementary school.
Can't even hang out at the mall
There is little in the way of recreation for children in Webequie, aside from a run down outdoor hockey rink.
A taste of the traditional
Webequie incorporated traditional culture into the design of their school. This teepee is a place for assemblies or just a good place to read.
Dangerous neighbour
There’s not much room to build on Eastwood Island, so the school sits next to a diesel fuel tank.
Dance, baby. dance
Children participate in square dancing during Webequie’s summer festival.
