First Nations children (up to age 14) and First Nations youth (aged 15 to 30) currently attending school are invited to submit videos and artwork that tell stories of their First Nations cultures and everyday life:
- short storytelling video of songs, dances;
- learning on the land;
- artwork on culture; or
- storytelling themes.
This is a great opportunity to showcase cultures in your communities and schools. Your submission will be featured on the First Nations Education Administrators Storyteller Page Àdisὁkewinini in Algonquin Anishinaabemowin.
The submissions will be showcased as part of an FNEAA Townhall in which we will invite students to share their work with Knowledge Keepers in a Youth-Elder exchange. The works will also be featured in a virtual exhibit hosted on the FNEAA website. The goal is to give First Nations Youth a means of expressing pride in their identity, their schools and their nation.
