Over 100 community members — including Cooper Taylor  and Patrick Gunsolus –turned out to support the June 11 “Our Dreams Matter Too” walk in Curve Lake First Nation. Smoke Trail Drummers did an honour song for participants when they arrived at the First Nation’s elementary school. A round dance followed the walk, and letters were sent off to the Prime Minister and area Members of Parliament expressing concern about the gap in funding for First Nations students and schools.
