Ojibwe Guest Speakers

Post Linda Yang on Wed Nov 25, 2009 8:20 pm

On Monday and Tuesday (Nov. 23rd and 24th), three guest speakers came to speak to the Earl Haig students about the environment and the Ojibwe's way of life/thinking towards mother Earth. Each shared their stories and their philosophies/takes on what is happening to our planet. Thanks so much for coming!

Well, so much for that.
