BC Provincial Aboriginal Education Conference

by Sekwaw Katelyn Matthew

November 28, 2008. BC Provincial Aboriginal Education Conference: Vancouver, BC

I gave a short speech at the Provincial Aboriginal Education Conference: part in English and part in my language, Secwepemctsin. The conference delegates were from provincial and First Nations schools.

My message to the 600 people present was to “remember to give youth a chance for a positive future”. The response was great. The educators and leaders welcomed me to the head table. It was an exhilarating experience.
