Laughing Water whisks a reader back in time to when the First Nations people of northwestern Canada led a nomadic life as fur traders; back to the earliest missionaries who introdu ced formal education to our first Canadians; and back to when Canadian governments and churches shared this responsibility. Laughing Water is proud to invite its readers to read words written by some of the students and staff of the Chooutla Indian Residential School in their 1955-56 school paper, The Chooutla Grayling. Laura Harris Stanger devoted many years of her adult life to working in Indian residential schools, and she fondly remembers her years at Chooutla as a special time when her skills were challenged and stretched and her life's values enriched by the people of the Yukon.
