 The Elders Traditional Program provides a unique connection between the Elders and the students of the Otetiskiwin School. It gives Elders an opportunity to share their knowledge and wisdom with the community. The Elders employed by the program are thankful they are part of the Trust organization, as they say they would otherwise have little or no chance of socializing with their peers and the wider community.
- The program depends on local resources and the skills Elders are willing to share in accomplishing the program goals.
- Cultural activities are designed for each season
- Fall hunting expeditions, berry harvesting and arts and crafts
- Winter fishing, trapping, preparation of pelts, outdoor survival skills, snowshoe making and teachings of the Cree language
- Spring duck/goose harvesting, tanning of hides and general outdoor activities
- Summer gathering of berries.
