Maskwacis Youth Perceptions of Strength and Resilience: A Photovoice Project
This video summarizes the positive impact that a strength-based project delivered to an Indigenous community. What I liked about this project is that it provided a focus on the positive aspects of a community, rather than revisiting what are more negative historical events. I can see the power of being present and positive in activities and actions and will use this article as a reminder to create opportunities for positive growth for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous learners by focusing on strengths and as we live in the present day and build a future together.
