Future
Elders Profile
The
Future Elders is a group for students who are interested
in learning more about Aboriginal culture and making
a positive difference in the community. Some events
that the Future Elders have helped to organize are
the WDSS Pow-Wow and National Chief Phil Fontaine's
Visit to WDSS in May 2008. The group has weekly meetings
and hosts guest speakers such as Suzie Jones, Leslee
White-Eye, Uriah Dodge, and Muriel Sampson.

Elders Events
The
Future Elders will be holding fundraisers such as
Corn Soup, Taco, Fry Bread, and Greeting Card Sales
over the course of the school year. We are also hoping
to put together a Residential School Survivor Memorial
Service in the Spring of 2009. Some other projects
that we will be involved with are a Community Leaders
Booklet, hosting various guest speakers, and possibly
designing a line of Future Elders clothing.
