It's very exciting to have non-Indigenous
people show their curiosity and give us
the space to talk about who we are. I love
being a voice for the Northwest Territories, I
love putting my voice out there. I love saying
how amazing my culture is and it's important
for somebody who is not native to learn
about that.

There are so many layers to reconciliation.
It means many different things to many
different people; it is about Canada as a
whole looking at relationships between
Indigenous communities and the
government and non-Indigenous peoples,
but it is also at the community level and a
personal individual level as well. We need
to come together on all of these levels and
really push Canada towards new positive
relationships. We are moving in a positive
direction and I think a large part of this is
because of our youth.
