Indian Teacher Education Program (ITEP) students who are completing their degrees and will graduate in 2013 made the presentation.

Busch-Vishniac joined the students in a traditional lunch, heard about their experiences studying where they live, and participated in a cultural assembly at the Cree Immersion School.
