Head-Smashed-In-Buffalo-Jump


Head-Smashed-in-Buffalo-Jump Interpretive Centre - a must visit if you are ever near Lethbridge, Alberta; great archival displays and a very moving film. We have such little knowledge of Aboriginal history - our country's history. This must change. We must become more engaged, building an inclusive society where we all have the opportunity to prosper.

In 2007, I attended an International Leadership Association Conference (in Vancouver) as a delegate - http://www.ila-net.org. One of our presenters was Chief Shawn Atleo. Needless to say, I am not surprised that he is now Grand Chief of the AFN. His leadership presentation was moving. He seemed to have that 'it' factor. I have no doubt that he is rearing to go, bridging divides; so the rest of us, Aboriginal or not, let's roll up our sleeves!
