Can you think of an Elder in your community creating the path of least resiliency for our future generations? Let’s say THANK YOU to an elder actively particip...ating in any area such as Language, Environment, Art, Politics, Education, Culture You name it, we want to thank them! Every month, on the ORC Facebook and Twitter pages, we want to acknowledge an elder continuing to do the work for many generations to come.
