Elders Project

For the past few months, I’ve had the honour of working on a project with Kootenay Lake School District to capture the stories of Indigenous Elders in the region. The final videos will be shared with students across the school district, as aboriginal education further integrates into the curriculum. Several students from South Nelson Elementary, Adam Roberts Elementary and Prince Charles Secondary School students participated in this project by drawing pictures in response to the Elders’ stories. Ben Euerby created the original score of these videos, all 20-30 minutes in length. Amy Bohigian shot, directed and edited the videos.
