Mushkegowuk Council is lauding four youths who brought the concerns of local First Nations on an international stage this week.

Grand Chief Leo Friday said the four youths were articulate, presented their concerns with distinction, offered inspiration and instilled a sense of pride among Omushkego people.

“They spoke from the heart and from their own experiences,” said the Grand Chief. “If we can support members of Omushkego communities to present their ideas, their thoughts, their perspectives to the world at large, I think that’s an important role Mushkegowuk Council can play.”
