Manitoba Council for International Cooperation (MCIC)Monday 22 February 2010 - 14:00:38
Fox Lake Cree Nation Jr. Chief John Peters entered a submission to the MCIC - the submission was an essay outlining his views on "Fair Trade and Ethical Consumption"
John Peters was one of eight youth chosen throughout Manitoba to participate in developing a original song and video. The video is called: "I Hear Your Voice"
Eight youth from across Manitoba have come together to create an original song and music video about fair trade and ethical consumption. “I Hear Your Voice” is a message from youth in Canada to young exploited workers in the developing world — those who make the products we buy. The youth ask other Canadians to face the reality and look for alternatives to unfair labour practices.

Music Video Info In addition to Jr. Chief being a part of the music video, he was also a part of a fashion show put on by the youth.
