To develop ways and means to achieve a continental approach in reaching and consolidating the native peoples of North America — that was the aim of the August Conference at Fort Qu’Appelle. Inspired by Hands of the Cause Ali Akbar Furutan and John Robarts on the first night, the stage was set for two days of workshops. Within the framework of consultation, recommendations were developed amid healthy cultural encounter. The Pow Wow on the last day brought all together in fellowship — a fitting climax, generating a new surge of spirit.
