Last year, when my grandson was in grade four, he asked us if we would come to his class and do a presentation. The principal of his school was so impressed by our work that she sent an email to all the principals that she knew and throughout that school term, we did presentations in twenty schools in Edmonton. Three years ago, Scott Olsen, an Edmonton based tour operator organised a tour for a Norwegian high school group of basketball players to compete in Alberta. We presented a two day cultural experience for them during their stay. They are coming again this fall and have booked our services a third time. Eagle Spirit receives annual repeat bookings for cultural experiences.
The presentation was both interesting and entertaining. Jerry and Gisele used a balance of historic information and personal stories. Audrey Shield On behalf of the Rotary Club of Fort Saskatchewan, I would like to thank you again for the wonderful program that you presented to our Group Study Exchange team from Indonesaia. They found your presentation interesting, informative and above all friendly. I know that we all came away with a new appreciation of Aboriginal culture. Carol Devereux, President Thank you for your warm and sincere welcome, which made us feel right at home with you. Thanks also for your openness to our questions. It was great how you involved us in hands-on ways of learning. As former educatores ourselves, we can attest to the solid planning and skilful presentation we experienced. Eagle Spirit is a hidden gem for Albertans and tourists alike. We offer our best wishes in your efforts to foster understanding of aboriginal culture and heritage. Cec and Pat Race

Our aim is to promote and appreciation of aboriginal culture through hands on activities where possible, sharing our culture through experiencing it, such as through drumming, singing, story telling, playing aboriginal games, making bannock, learning about the bison and pemmican tasting, and craft making. Learn more about our culture through the history of the Beaver Hills. Our culture is also expressed through the teachings of our Mother the Earth and our connections to her. Join us for a few hours or several days. We offer Drum Making Workshops, Medicine Wheel Retreats, as well as other cutlural experiences. We offer our programs in schools and at Elk Island Retreat, a tipi campground just 30 minutes east of Edmonton. We also deliver Aboriginal Awareness and Sensitivity Training Workshops.
