The museum plays a very significant role, because we work very closely with our schools and education facilities, and certainly a lot of the children’s programs allow us to show some of these traditional activities. For example, we’ve worked with the Prince of Wales to have birch bark canoe projects where students from different schools can build a birch bark canoe, for example. So that’s all been put on tape and there are also books that have been created to show that. So we’re doing that with a number of different kinds of activities. The Prince of Wales has been very helpful in recreating some techniques that have been lost and recreated so that people can recover those skills. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
