Students at Harkins Middle School, Miramichi, were
treated to a play performed by a cast of professional Theatre New Brunswick
Young Company First Nation actors called “The Eighth Fire”, on Wednesday April 8th. Joining them in the school’s gymnasium to watch the
presentation was New Brunswick’s Lieutenant Governor the Honourable Jocelyne
Roy-Vienneau
and her
husband, His Honour, Mr. Ronald Vienneau. The play
dealt with the conflict experienced by many First Nation youth between their modern
lifestyles and their traditional culture. The performance was well received by
the audience who, following the play, were able to present questions to cast
members as well as the Lieutenant
Governor. To see photos visit The Eighth Fire at HMS.
