Felicity Coon-Come Brien says she could hardly believe it when she received the letter saying she was one of 13 young artists to be recognized nationally by the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation.

As part of its 40^th Anniversary celebration, the Cree School Board planted a tree outside its school in Eastmain this week as a symbol of the growth and hope that are expected in Cree education in the coming 40 years.

“We may not be here,” said Director General Abraham Jolly, “but this tree will be, and it will stand for the strong roots we built in our first 40 years, as well as the promise of student success in the next 40.”
