RITES OF PASSAGE
Starblanket:
|
In March of 2001, Noel Starblanket gave the keynote speech at the annual conference of the Association of Death Education and Counseling which was held in Toronto, Ontario that year. The Association of Death Education and Counseling is one of the most highly regarded organizations for those who work in the field of death and dying/ bereavement and the audience to whom Chief Starblanket spoke was comprised of approximately 500 psychologists, social workers, chaplains and bereavement counselors, the majority of these people coming from the United States and Canada. Chief Starblanket was given a standing ovation for his speech and almost four years later, people still remember it as one of the most inspiring and meaningful presentations they ever experienced. |
