This training was awesome; it will be help us start our own girls group. I’m excited to put this into practice.” Lori Joe, Aboriginal Child & Youth Wellness Worker, Sechelt First Nation, BC

"What an amazing training experience!  Our precious daughters need to know that the blood of a beautiful nation runs through them and that they are beautiful and wonderfully made. They need to know that they can live and walk, dream and run, believe and soar and that they CAN fulfill the destiny that is before them.  This training awoke us to see the obstacles that our girls go through and how we need to provide them with a sense of belonging, guidance and assurance that they are gifts from the Creator and they will grow up to be beautiful successful women in the future.  Thank you for the bringing this to Treaty Four Territory!  Meegwetch!  Thank you!" Vera C. Tourangeau -Treaty Four Student Success Program, 2010.
