Thanks to all of you who participated in the Write for Rights. Let's hope our collective effort bears some fruit.
On 15-December Moccasin Telegraph was honoured with the presence of Anna Wilson, who is very active in the Aboriginal volunteer community. Anna graced us with a couple of original songs yesterday, which I hope to get posted within the next couple of weeks. We are in the process of obtaining information from Attawapiskat Band Office to facilitate all of us to help out directly, and will post it here to the blog as soon as we can.
Anna also gave us a great idea for a place to spend your Christmas volunteer hours. Volunteering at the Native Seniors Centre near Northgate will allow you an opportunity to spend time with Elders of the community - much more fun than going to the library and trying to research original historic stories on-line. So if you are looking to give some of your time for Christmas, please contact Will Belcourt at manager@nativeseniorscentre.ca and let him know you want to lend a hand. Everyone at the Native Seniors Centre will love you for it, and you will love yourself for the gifts you will receive in turn - think great stories, gratitude for helping out, bannock ... Did someone say bannock? Anyway, you get my drift - see you at the bannock counter.
