Ermineskin Cree Nation

I recently went to Muskegese, which is actually four Cree communities: Samson, Louis Bull, Montana, and Ermineskin.

This was a site of a 2022 visit by Pope Francis.

He apologized for the Catholic Church's role in residential schools, where children were forced to attend, punished for speaking their indigenous language, and sometimes died.

I believe it's just a topic that the youth should be more educated about and take more action, I guess, if you will, and yeah, so doing my part, I guess.

[laughs]

Ermineskin had brought in satellite internet for the afternoon, but now Catherine is filling out the registration forms online and using her phone for a Wi-Fi signal.

I am so sorry.

It's, my internet is so slow.
