Forty-five students from the First Nations University of Canada (FNUC) recently took part in a unique camp designed to teach them about Aboriginal culture.

The students are all enrolled in the university's Indian Social Work program. Taking part in the 10-day camp is part of the program requirements.

The cultural camp is run annually, with the location changing each year to ensure the four directions are represented. This year, the camp was offered in the south, on Standing Buffalo First Nation, running from July 18 to 27.
