First Nation Using Youth to Spread Message About COVID-19 to Elders
MORLEY, Alta.—A First Nation in Alberta is turning to its youth to help spread the message to older members about the dangers of COVID-19.
Three reserves in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains make up the Stoney Nakoda First Nation, where there have been only a couple of outbreaks of the novel coronavirus since the pandemic began.
CEO Ryan Robb said the First Nation, including Morley about 70 kilometres west of Calgary, has faced a difficult challenge. Stoney remains the first language for an overwhelming majority of members, regardless of their age.
