We have laws that have
been around for thousands
of years... a lot of youth and
middle aged people even
some of the elders in our
communities have forgotten
or haven't learned these laws,
but I think these teachings
are important because it
helps keep us grounded
and have meaning to life.

I have hope because I think it is getting to
the point where more and more youth are
taking advantage of opportunities to learn
our history and traditions… it is a way for us
to spend time together and to gain knowledge
around our teachings that have been passed
down by our ancestors for generations.
