Today as we look back on our time here in Exeter we see what we have been doing here since we arrived and the one main thing that keeps coming forward is that we are telling the people how we live today.  We are clearing up misconceptions of how our ancestors, as well as us today, have lived.  Some of the frequent misconceptios we are clearing up is that we are people that are Canadian First Nations and not American. It is the greatest misconception we have come up against and one which our children are excellent at getting straightened out.  We also made some very strong friendships with some of the people that we have met here.  Our people acknowledge the ties we have made here and we will always remember those who have made our trip to England one that is special anad meaningful for all of us. 

The exhibition and the workshops we are hosting and participating in has shown our children that there are many people that truly enjoy what they are important and that they have a host of information that they can pass on to others.  In interacting with the people that we meet we are receiving information as well as giving information.  We are strong believers in what goes around comes around, and that those who are giving will receive many rewards.
