Session Description
Learn how an initial book project aimed at connecting youth with community elders and knowledgeable community members, morphed into a four book major undertaking, and segued into a continuing relationship with these same community members in a photographic community history series. Thrown into the mix was the Centre's need for corn husk in order to enhance an on-going children's workshop.
