Elder Ellen Cook-educator, story teller and Cree language keeper

 Elder Ellen Cook, Cree language keeper and storyteller, enamoured students with tales about her life without electricity, indoor plumbing and daily mail service.  The Elder showed students that she works to strengthen broken links between generations because of residential school.  Some students heard the story of Turtle Island, others her birthday gift of the three bears and a lesson on kindness.
