Over 1,000 Aboriginal youth attended a four-day conference in Prince Rupert, March 21-24, 2011. The youth spent the majority of their time at the conference in workshops that centered around the issues and culture unique to their lives as young Aboriginal people. Many of the workshops were about introducing the youth to different aspects of their cultural heritage, others were considerably more serious, including frank discussions with the youth about the issues in their home communities, issues that are affecting Aboriginal youth all over Canada.
