The students pushed past initial shyness and learned about cultural identity, self confidence, and mental health.\u00a0 The project integrated the school\u2019s curriculum with Hip Hop as the driving force of expression. They also learned about digital technology, tools behind music making, the music industry, and various career possibilities. After the celebratory concert, one student wrote, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;It made me believe we can do anything if we believe in ourselves<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;, and another asserted, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;You can go far even if you are from a small town.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Film director Carlos Guerra joined the project to create a new Violent Ground music video showcasing the Naskapi territory and featuring some of the students. Carlos and some students also documented the project, supported by an Artists Inspire Grant.\u00a0 Please watch for it and a longer feature story about this amazing ACE project to be shared online.
