The Grade 7 class at Fort High took part in a “Connected North” session in late May with a class from Fort Providence, N.W.T. They were joined by Jason Jones, the program’s facilitator, and Nyle Johnston, an artist and traditional story-teller from the Chippewas of Nawash Anishinawbe First Nation. The two classes used TelePresence technology to converse and talk about the various artwork that had been supplied by Johnston for a project called “Connecting with our First Family.”
