Belonging
c o n n e c t e d n e s s
Often our youth struggle with belonging when they feel they
don't know enough about our culture and our traditions,
but relationship is tradition. Kindness is tradition. If youth
are able to start there then that's the most important thing.

I always loved being out on the
land, feeling a sense of freedom and
feeling like I belonged. It's where
my identity is, where my ancestors
are, where my dad grew up and
where my whole family tree is.

I'm trying to build a connection with
my community to ultimately build
a stronger connection with myself,
so I can help other people who are
struggling with the same issue.

Why is our connection to each other and the land so important? How do these
connections impact our sense of belonging?
