Praise for SEVEN
Boozhoo,
I came across your SEVEN Youth Media Network magazine at Eagles Cry Life Centre on Simpson Street in Thunder Bay. What a great publication! I live and work in my community of Grand Portage, MN. You are reaching many people and it is very powerful because often in media we do not find positive and encouraging reflections of Natives, or we find no representation at all. I offer encouragement to your staff and want to empower you using your voices!
Miigwech,
April (Clearwater-Day) McCormick
Grand Portage Tribal SHIP Coordinator (Statewide Heath Improvement Program)
Grand Portage Health Service
Note from SEVEN:
Please join us in welcoming Sandy Lake’s Chris Kakegamic and Weagamow’s Kyra Kaminawaish to the SEVEN Youth Advisory Committee. The SEVEN Youth Advisory Committee meet with SEVEN staff on a regular basis to decide what types of stories will be covered and also work and volunteer in their respective communities to engage and empower youth with the goal of a creating a positive environment. Wacheeyeh to our latest recruits! We look forward to the good work we’ll accomplish together in the months to come!
Chris Kakegumick is a Band Constable who works in security around the reserve and at the local airport. He also assists Nishnawbe Aski Police Service when needed. When he’s not working, Chris can be found helping around members of the community, as well as his family and friends when needed. He is outgoing, open minded and joined SEVEN’s youth advisory committee because he relates very strongly to the people who share their stories in SEVEN and because he too would like to help spread their message of hope, resilience and growth to inspire many more youth to continue moving forward.
Kyra Kaminawaish, a member of Weagamow Lake First Nation, is a very busy young woman, whose goal it is to inspire her peers to find their voice, take a stand and lead the way to a stronger, brighter future for our First Nations peoples. She does this through her work with and as a member of:

Board Director, Youth Canada Association
