Saskatoon program helps Indigenous kids get 'fire lit inside'

An after-school program in Saskatoon is combining Indigenous culture with theatre and performance, and for some participants, giving them a sense of pride and changing their lives.

When Bluejay Linklater was in Grade 8, he was repeatedly sent to the principal's office and getting into arguments.
