The project was the dream of late councillor Arnold Naytowhow, and the total cost for 10 cabins was about $1 million. The other four cabins are for the Elder women and are situated throughout the community.

Russell Bird lives in one of the cabins with his brother, and told paNOW he was brought up on the reserve.

“I’m grateful that I’ve got a place to call my home,” he said.

Bird’s younger brother has been allowed to sleep up in the loft, and Bird indicated he was quite happy to sleep on the hide-a-bed. He was also happy about the fact that he knows all his neighbours.

“If you know the people around you, it makes you happy.”
