Episode 50 – The “Rez Cross” way

In the wake of raging forest fires throughout northern Saskatchewan, thousands of evacuees were brought together in temporary shelters. One such shelter was at Beardy’s and Okemasis First Nation, near Duck Lake, SK.  Kevin Power meets with three guests: an evacuee, a social worker in mental health, and band councillor for Beardy’s. The arena has become a temporary shelter and affectionally known as “Rez Cross”. Beardy’s and Okemaisis First Nation has show the the generosity of spirit that defines their community.
