(Translation) I am going to be saying this in Slavey. Today an elder from Kakisa Lake has passed away. His name is Johnny Providence. He died last week and his funeral is today. There are a lot of people that went to Kakisa to attend his funeral. The elder has lived in that community for many years, so a lot of people would have attended this funeral to pay their respects to him and his family. Honourable Sam Gargan, being the MLA for this area, has also attended the funeral. I myself have known this elder for a few years, and I would like to say this in honour of him and his family. Thank you. (Translation ends)
