We are borrowing the land from our
children, grandchildren and future
generations... One way we can use our
land based teachings to protect the
land is to only take what you need,
use only what you need.

Culture is essential. Culture is the strongest
foundation I can think of. Culture I strongly
believe is what's going to unite us all as
one people again. We've been separated by
politics, by votes, by borders and boundaries,
by addiction, by work. Culture is something
that we all truly have in common and culture
is what I believe will make us strong.

I believe in empowering youth through cultural initiatives and spirituality as
a strength and an anchor to hold you down; to let you know yourself. You
can't be happy and you can't help others until you know yourself.

Where do you draw your strength from? What are our responsibilities to each other and the land?
