Abstract

No abstract supplied by the author. Abstract created by the cataloguer from information contained in the Introduction.

This document describes the stories, hopes, and intentions of a local practitioner and a community of Métis students. It illustrates an empowerment based approach to community work informed by both narrative ideas and the sharing traditions of the Aboriginal people of Saskatchewan. Over the last several months, the students of SUNTEP (Saskatchewan Urban Native Teacher Education Program) have explored and documented their narratives of struggle and determination with the dream of inspiring local Aboriginal youth and addressing social inequities within the larger community. Using the cultural and narrative custom of sharing, the students created a collective document describing the hopes, knowledge, and skills of their community to distribute among their many neighbors.
