Mr. Stevens had the wonderful task of trying to find the funds for the development and production of this particular book. Our grateful thanks to Outcrop, particularly Ronne Heming, for the final production of this edition. "Thank you" to all funding agencies, particularly UNESCO and Esso Resources, for assisting the community of Fort Smith in this venture. A heartfelt thank you to Joe Bird, Mrs. Bird's son, for co-ordinating the book-launching event.

Finally, and most importantly, a heartfelt thank you to Mrs. Madeleine Bird for sharing her knowledge not only with her grandchildren but with all of us Northerners and for many future generations to come.

Mr. Speaker, sharing is such an important part of our aboriginal culture. This book is a fine example of sharing. I trust the Members will truly enjoy reading this book, "Living Kindness." Thank you.
