Bartleman Awards Handed Out

Four northwestern Ontario aboriginal students have picked up a prestigious literary award.  The Bartleman Award winners were announced recently with teens from Whitefish Bay, Fort Severn, Wunnumin Lake and Sioux Lookout collecting accolades.  This year's successful entries include poems that address the damaging effects of bullying, isolation and the legacy of residential schools. The winners each pick up a cheque for 25 hundred dollars.
