Elders attend to teach the youth and anyone who has lived off reserve about many things including plants, medicines, beading, drum making, hunting, fishing and telling their stories. With the assistance that was given to STFN, it was decided to support local businesses including Woods n Water, who were very generous and donated a kayak to the Loonie auction that is held at the culture camp.
