Dorothy Walker runs a foster home in Grande Prairie.

Her oldest ward, Mike Michalzuk was born in 1910. Her youngest, Cassy Kiwassew, is handicapped and "only eight years old," Dorothy commented.

A member of the Swan River Indian band at Kinuso, Dorothy has been a foster mother for over 22 years. Her efforts earned her the provincial volunteer of the year award in 1983.

But what makes a woman like Dorothy dedicate most of her life to helping others?

In 1977 Lucien and William Meek packed their belongings and began the long trip west, from their Ojibwa home on Tenagami reserve in Ontario.

Most of Lucien's family had migrated to the Edmonton area from the east in the 60s so the move wasn't that hard on her and their family of five children, she says.

Today, she's the director of the Native Pastoral Centre in Edmonton, a job she loves because religion has always been an important part of her life.
