Trappers Trails & Tails hasn't added a story.
In 2005, I chose to move to and live on my traditional Native homeland full-time. It is where I love and want to be with my Parker and students: Teaching and sharing with young Native Americans traditions and skills I learnt from my Grandfather and Mother for living a good life with strong work and caring ethics.
I have been bringing young people to where I live since I was 18 years old. The only thing stopping me now is running out of money to pay for their expenses. On an old age pension, I can’t pay for their living, training and camp costs. And, I have run out of resources trying to access government and First Nation funding to support the Native Youth who want to take the training I offer.
So this is my first crowdfunding campaign. Our goal is to raise $50,000 to feed, lodge, equip and train a Camp Steward who can help me with the students for 1 year. The person I select will be a physically strong, young Native person who has good leadership and mentoring potential. Your cash gifts will cover living and camp expenses, training certifications and a traning allowance.
I will gladly accept and appreciate whatever cash amount you can
give. S/He can come as soon as our campaign goal is reached. In
return we will keep you up-to-date on how you are helping Native
Youth via my blog and Facebook page that will link to a new website
so you can learn more. Please share with all your friends. Chii-Miigwetch
