About Me
- Sharon Anne Pasula (Letendre)
- Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
- Sharon’s strong heritage is grounded in Lac Ste Anne, AB. Childhood summers were often spent helping her grandparents during the annual Ste Anne pilgrimage. Archie & Caroline (Letendre) had a stand where food could be purchased by pi1grims, friends & relatives alike. It was the only one for many years & met a need for the people. Year after year the family went to lend a hand. Few electricity lines meant no refrigerator so pop was buried in three large ice filled wash tubs. It felt good to keep the tubs filled, help scoop ice cream, or flip burgers. Such is a Métis kid's, life. Of course, despite being told not to, a chance to play on the bridge. Sharon’s first annual assembly was with Aunties & cousins in Lac La Biche. It was exciting being inside a big tent, complete with sawdust on the floor, noisy with laughter & conversation, jigging & two-stepping. The last year of university, Sharon consciously re-engaged her culture. Wanting to ignite interest, she became a local president. Sharon also served the Métis people in the capacity of literacy project coordinator, then a new field. Sharon was also a founding member of the Métis Women of Alberta.
