We are establishing a network of support, training & education, and
resources for workers in First Nations/Native American communities.
This network was initiated by Waseskun House, a healing & development
centre, and Waseskun Canada, an organization that focuses on community
training needs with a special emphasis on youth. They also are an
Internet Service Provider that delivers training in web site development
and advanced Internet applications, and design web sites for different
groups. All activities are of a non-profit nature and support our work
with the communities.
In June, 1998, we are planning a North American conference that will
focus on bringing many groups together to work on issues faced by Native
communities today and on forming a working network, using the internet
as an efficient communication vehicle, to respond effectively and
resolve many of those problems. It is time to move on from the endless
discussions of issues, and to pull in many of the resources needed to do
our work. An on-line registration form will be set up shortly for
anyone wishing to register early for this conference. Any early
registration fees will assist in the costs of organizing this event.
The Elders have said that we must reach out to all nations and races in
our efforts to heal ourselves, and this is what we are doing. Anyone
wishing to provide a name of a foundation that may provide funding,
assist in promoting our work, attend our working conference, etc. , or
just offer words of encouragement - everything is appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
In Peace & Friendship,
