Hello Angela,
My name is Nassy Fesharaki and can easily be found on line. I claim to be a poet and filmmaker and have done some works but I am a person concerned with the Indigenous people in general and in the Americas in particular. I love to get more insight to the roots and reasons of our sisters’ disappearing…I intend to compare their lives with those in Andes and, possibly, write a proper script to make a film.
I wonder how much you can help though I do know that you are smart and hardworking!?
Will you kindly inform me of your interest and availability?
I have started to follow you on twitter!

Can you look into “nominal roll” it forces kids back to the reserve to receive funding. I moved away from reserve a long time ago. My girls go to catholic school in Kamloops. And unless I live on reserve (any reserve ) I will be funded. Really? Your only native on your own reserve. If I was to move to another reserve?? This does not make sense and is old rules that need to be changed .
