Qalipu First Nation is pleased to share that starting tomorrow, we will be reaching out from our living room to yours with pre-recorded and Live video with our team and other knowledgeable members of the community. It is important that we maintain connections during this difficult time of self-isolation, and we invite you all to join us.
For more information on the following events, please visit our Facebook Page.
Tuesday at 3:00-3:30 PM (Live) Beading with Alex and Nicole.
Alex Antle and Nicole Travers work with the Band in the areas of tourism and culture. In their own time, the talented duo are beaders and owners of their own small businesses, Bunchberry Beadwork and Blomidon Beadwork, respectively. On Tuesday they’ll begin a two-part series to create a beaded medicine wheel.
Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7:00 PM (Live) Bedtime Stories with Kristen
Hearing stories that demonstrate the Seven Grandfather Teachings is something that will speak to the kid in all of us. Education and Training Team Lead Kristen Pittman will share children’s stories that demonstrate Respect, Honesty, Truth, Humility, Courage Wisdom and Love.
Thursday at 3:00 PM (Pre-recorded) Comprehensive Community Planning (CCP)
CCP Coordinator Samantha Gardiner was on tour in our communities before COVID-19 grounded life as we know it to a halt. Now, she’s working from home with two toddlers to keep her company! Tune in to this interview to hear about the community plan, and to find out who wins the bag of swag (your name was entered if you completed the survey.)
Friday at 11:00 AM (Pre-recorded) Interview with Qalipu Health Team
Do you have questions that you would like answered? Send them to communications@qalipu.ca by 4:00 PM Wednesday to have them asked in an interview to be pre-recorded on Thursday. The team will talk about NIHB Benefits, Your Claims, Prescriptions, Medical Travel and whatever you want to know!
Friday at 3:00 PM Medicine Walk with Scott and Kasondra (Pre-recorded)
Kasondra Perrier was hired as Education Outreach Officer just before COVID-19 shut down our offices. Kasondra adapted quickly to be able to offer cultural outreach with our membership and others by creating this video, and her own video series that will broadcast every Friday at 3:00 PM.
In this video, take a Medicine Walk along Flat Bay Brook with Kasondra and her dad, local artist and cultural carrier Scott Butt. Scott’s friendly dogs are along for the walk as well; entertainment and education at its best.
Programming to Continue:
Beading with Alex and Nicole, Bedtime Stories with Kristen and Culture with Kasondra will continue next week in their same time spots. We’ll have new programs to share as well and, we hope you’ll join us.
