Our harvesting partners in Makeso Sakahikan go out on the land to hunt, fish, and trap. They have a strong tie to the school and get youth to join them on outings for school credit. Over 25 different youth are regularly taken on trips during the spring and fall to learn land-based skills, and two of these youth have even been trained to run their own trap lines!
We send plants every spring. This includes annual vegetable crops like tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, and peppers, as well as perennial berries like saskatoon berries, strawberries, and cherry trees!
Our Makeso Sakahikan partners lead trips for youth across the province in search of collecting a wide array of important medicines. As a part of this, these youth are also able to connect with people from other communities.
We helped build some hunting cabins near Pikahokan Sakahikan (Angling Lake) that harvesters use as a base for local fishing expeditions.
