Our Story: Aboriginal Writing Challenge
The Canadian Aboriginal Writing Challenge is a national storytelling initiative to educate Canadians about the defining moments in history that have shaped this country and its Aboriginal people. We challenge youth (ages 14-18 and 19-29) of Aboriginal descent (Status, Non-Status, Inuit and Métis) and to write a short story or short creative piece about a moment in Aboriginal history; participants can showcase their talent, develop their creativity and win up to $2,000.
