The Digital Lodge project is a multi-year project in Thompson, Manitoba that works with the same group of students from grade 7 until grade 12. It is part of the larger Educating for Action project that also includes resource support by a project-dedicated teacher, as well as culturally relevant land-base education. Over the seven years of the project we are introducing various aspects of filmmaking to the youth, such as documentary, animation and dramatic filmmaking. The aim of the project is for the youth to find their own voice and learn to express themselves through the medium of film and video. The key to the success of the project is its long-term nature where the participating artists have been able to develop trust and friendships with the youth and the community.

A group of learners in Lutsel K’e got a taste of just how hard their ancestors worked to clothe themselves at a first-time traditional moosehide tanning camp last week.
“When I’m doing moosehide tanning, I often think, ‘yeah I’m doing one, it’s so hard, but what if I had to do 10 just to make sure that my family had the clothing that they needed to stay warm?’” said Stephanie Poole, a community member in Lutsel K’e who participated in the tanning camp. “It gives you a real appreciation for all of the work that our ancestors did.”
Around 10 to 15 people took part in the 10-day camp, some of whom slept on-site while others trekked out to the campsite each day, located near the townsite at the outlet to Stark Lake river. https://norj.ca/2014/06/lutsel-ke-traditions-kept-alive-with-tanning-camp/
