We need to set goals for ourselves, long term and short term, but in achieving these
we need to look at the little successes along the way. These little successes will
speak a lot more than your failures ever will. Just make sure that you're not afraid
to fail. As much as we need to celebrate success we also need to focus on not being
afraid of failure.

Being Métis we are constantly
adjusting to the different spaces and
identities that we are a part of. In the
past we were made to feel ashamed of
this, but we need to be proud of it and
know it's a skill and learn how to use
it... stay rooted to our ancestry, but
adapt and use it for creating change.

Ever since I was a little girl
I felt that this world needs
help. As I grow older I am
hearing it from other people
- that the world needs
healing. The people in this
world need healing, Mother
Earth needs healing... we
have started, but we need to
keep going.

I think one of my strengths may be
the ability I have to get back up after
being pushed down so many times...
It takes a lot to pick yourself back up,
especially when you don't want to or
you feel you have no reason to.

We were quiet hundreds
of years ago, but we're
different now, we
have courage, we have
confidence and support.
