Initiative Co-Lead Bill Nadeau had the opportunity to present the Naut’sa mawt project to a council of elders from Snaw-naw-as.
“I was honoured to present to them the Naut’sa mawt Initiative. The opportunity to seek their perspectives and learn and share with them the Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada and Giant Floor Map. What an amazing experience to hear all of their stories”.
