Kristine Jack above cooked a food feast for First Nations students attending SOSS today. There are 84 such students at the Oliver High School. The meal started with a prayer of thanks to the creator. Kristine talked a little about her early period of the “gathering” when adults and elders gathered berries, hunted deer and elk, fished the rivers and looked for roots. She stated that not as much of that going on in the present as in the past.

Thanks to all the students, Education assistants Sonja Jensen and Raylene Baptiste, Kristine, Helen Gallagher and Jim Insley
