Canada 150

Over the same days that “Canada 150” celebrations were occurring across Canada, Cheryl Bear and Tim Huff were co-leading a teaching track at a national youth workers’ conference in Winnipeg, Manitoba, about the themes found in their co-authored book The Honour Drum: Sharing the Beauty of Canada’s Indigenous People with Children, Families and Classrooms. After one teaching session, they made an impromptu Iphone video message about “Canada 150” and “Canada Day” in general. On their private facebook pages alone, this insightful brief video piece received 13,000 views over the July 1st weekend alone.
