I think to gain more land based
teachings we must utilize our
elders and get them fully
involved in any way we can.
They have all of the knowledge
we need... I remember the best
feeling in the world was when
I was a little girl exploring the
land and always being taught
the simple teachings of Respect,
Care, Share and Teach.

I love that when I teach youth
how to throat sing I get to
practice communication! I try
to let them learn the basics
then build on their skills.
This can be applied to many
leadership and teaching
situations like catering to an
individual's needs.

Living in a small community it's nice knowing that a lot of people care about
you and can support you, but there are changes that I would like to see
back home and everywhere. Keeping our land clean, more respect for
each other and education for example. Going to school can't just be about
passing any more it needs to be about learning. We need to be supported
better to reach higher education, but this learning needs to be centred
around respect for each other and the land. There should also be more
of a focus on embracing our culture and our language in school because it
brings such important knowledge.
