More information to follow! Just a quick post to get the writing started.
Mack's Packs is a new program that is similar to a scholarship program but the winning entries will receive a back pack full of school supplies to ensure they are prepared for a new school year. Students will enter a category of their choice and will be judged according to content. All entries will be on the importance of education while maintaining an identity as a First Nations person.

Get your backpack!
Now that the categories have been established what to write about. It has recently become apparent the power of social media especially in relation to the movement known as Idle No More. A grassroots movement that is sweeping not only Canada but worldwide through social media, the people, drummers, believers, and everyday people fighting for First Nations rights. As a nation the beauty of our people are shining brighter with each passing day and with this in mind you are being asked to write about how as a First Nations youth you are inspired by our history, our culture, and/or our current struggles. This can be done through an essay, or a creative outlet of your choice and you will be put into the category you have written in.
