Emily Delver
I am a Cree Woman from the Saddle Lake Cree Nation. A mother of 2 sons and 1 grandson. I have worked with First Nations people for the last 40 years in several capacities: from Teacher’s Assistant for an Adult Education Program right out of high school, an Aboriginal Theatre Company in Winnipeg, MB – Awasikan Theatre, Aboriginal Affairs in Alberta, Native Counselling Services of Alberta – Courtworker/Supervisor and a Family Support Worker/Supervisor for a Housing First Program in Calgary with Metis Calgary Family Services. After being away from my home community for 35+ years it is a pleasure to be working with people of my home community once again. I am now working in Saddle Lake at Eagle Healing Lodge as the Coordinator for the Indian Residential Schools Program. In my years away I have learned and acquired skills and teachings I draw from to help our people in the Treaty 6 area. Walking in Two Worlds is a lifelong learning journey and being able to balance it with the Sweetgrass Road is always chanllenging.
