On this week’s episode of Roots and Hoots, host Gordon Spence is pleased to be joined by Elder Joe I. Keeper. Elder Joe is a member of Norway House Cree Nation in Manitoba. Joe has worn many hats. In this episode he speaks with Gordon of his experience at Norway House Residential School, along with his schooling afterwards, his time served with the Canadian Army in the Korean War, and his time and experience as a founding member of both the National Indian Council (forerunner of the Assembly of First Nations) and the Manitoba Métis Federation. Joe’s lifelong passion for community development has been focused in the areas of self-governance and through this commitment, the legacy of his work lives on.
