CHIPPEWAS OF RAMA FIRST NATION – It’s a program whose origins trace back a dozen years. But for some attendees at a recent conference, it was the first time that they were hearing details about Nipissing First Nation’s Wiidooktaagyang program.
In English, the program, which follows a holistic, community service approach, translates to ‘We Are Helping One Another.’
Karen Auger, Wiidooktaagyang’s co-ordinator, spearheads her First Nation’s community-based programming. Auger was one of the featured speakers at an Anishinabek Nation family well-being conference, which was held from July 29-30 at Casino Rama Resort, located in Chippewas of Rama First Nation.
