Elder Dave Courchene was invited by MFNERC to conduct the honour ceremony, in which blankets were wrapped around each of the Elders honoured. Elder Courchene stated, “The blankets carry the spirit of the honour of being recognized for the work they have done for the people, and the memory of that work. The blanket is filled with the spirit to look after them, to take care of them. It becomes a healing blanket.”
