Our Videos
Nawalakw youth and community members created a documentary in collaboration with Carleton University. Jessica Mountain, Giselle Alfred, Brennan Sawyer, and Lucy Whonnock worked with students at Carleton University to create a phenomenal documentary. Members of our community joined us for a celebration at the Big House where we enjoyed a meal together and had a special screening of this documentary that highlights the importance of youth leadership. We love celebrating our youth! ǥilakas’la, thank you to all the family, friends, and community members for the support.
