I took a road trip across Saskatchewan to Winnipeg for a satisfying conference with Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal speakers to talk about progress and strategies. Rev Stan MacKay former Moderator of United Church did opening prayer in Native language. Also official opening greetings. Much discussion also film and art.
Renewed friendship with Leslie Spillett a Winnipeg advocate for urban natives. Many new friends as well. Hello to all.
