The programme included hearing Indigenous stories from elders, Indigenous games, making of rattles, language instruction, weaving, singing, and dancing using the rattles they had made, spiritual teachings and a visit to a Stolo cultural centre. They debriefed after each of the sessions. There was also considerable informal interaction.

Here are a few comments from students:
1) I learned to think about my own actions and view
2) I gained some new friends and developed relationships with a diversity of people both Indigenous and non-Indigenous Indigenous.
3) I learned I can be a leader.
4) I learned I want to make some changes in my community.5) My grandmother was in a residential school. Meeting Phyllis was my highlight. I also made some new best friends for life – Indigenous and non-Indigenous – from many diverse backgrounds.
6) I do not want to leave this place.
7) I was treated like a real human being. I rediscovered there is still kindness and people including white people who care.
