NJTI Community Journalism Training alum Julie Beaver took a work placement with CBC North following NJTI's March 27-April 21, 2023, training, and later joined CBC's Indigenous Pathways to Journalism program.
His voice broke as he shared memories he made with his family at the cabins. They served as places to warm up and had many necessities. "When the kids were young… and you got their names on the wall and all the memories and all that, and that's all burned up but you can't replace what was there," said Evans. Evans has lived in Fort Smith all his life, hunting and trapping, and knows the land well. He said a fire had already swept through the area where his cabins are, and he didn't think it would happen again.
