SER PAGE 28 Students The symbol on the back of the Canadian quarter h as a new meaning for Durham Region school children. Through their schoohs, tbousands are learning about the caribou and Canada's sub-Arctic culture by taking part in an imaginative new fund-raising campaign called the Great Innushare Caribou Hunt. The Caribou Hunt bas been developed by the ah-volunteer WVhitby-based Innushare Charitable Yrust te belp finance relief work at the stricken Innu community of Davis Inlet, Labrador. The village is infamous because of its suicide-prone, sovent-abusing children. The hunt metaphor is appropr.iate because the David Inlet Innu are a fu1ly active huntinýg community, the last semi-nomada of North America. However, culture clash and dislocation have devastated the Innu. Many local schools will bold special Caribou Hunt activities during the month of February. Oadarackque Public School in Ajax bas scored a coup by naving one of the greats in the Canadian children's entertain- ment industry headline its family reading night on Feb. 7. The mystery guest will perform in Ajax witbout char ge to help Cadarackque students raise funds for t h e Caribou Hunt. Lester B. Pearson Public School in Ajax will devote its community action day on May 6 to the Caribou Hunt. Bellwood Public School in Whitby will turn the entire school into the site of a mystery hunt as IJiomes*~yk~ hunt the caribou part of its caribou-hunting activities. Innushare bas taken on -- by default -- the enormous taskof helping rebuild famihy life in Davis Inlet. Co-chairs Mary Wood and Joyce Marshalh, both of Whitby, say their work is crucial because it's a task nobody else has undertâken. Government funding for the village is mostly diverted to alcohol rehabilitation and much needed new housing, but it doesn't bel p educate mothers te take better care of their chil dren. Innushare has provided a building for a women's centre and all programs are developed during lengthy telephone consultation with the women of the village, says Pickering scbool teacher Carole Scanneli. Scanneli visited Davis Inlet in the summer of 1993 and was the first Innushare volunteer to live with Innu families in their homes that have no running water or sewage. The caribou to be hunted in Durham Region are quarters which will add up te a mountain of xnuch needed aid. Innushare explains that one caribou (25 cents) will bu y breakast for an Innu child on the way to school. Four of tbem ($1) wil buy juce cystal s for eight pre-schoolers; Twenty caribous ($5) will buy two boxes of milk. The -breakfast program is a typical Innushare- inspired project. ,Hungry cbildren wihl be fed and inothers will earn the value of a balanced diet.
