Lac du Flambeau


Fifth graders and elders worked together to address illegal dumping of solid waste and other environmental issues. Students participated in an event where elders told cultural stories related to environmental issues, jointly held a channel clean-up and then proposed ideas for community development. With fifty projects created, the process has been adopted by the team and school to involve youth in these community issues.
