#WunnuminLake #FirstNation Chief Sam Mamakwa said he wants to see more of this #landBased #learning , where young people are taught #skills such as woodcutting and ice fishing with a net.

Most importantly, he wants to see them learn the #LifeSkills they need to be independent, which will allow them to be successful in further education and beyond, he said.
