“Maybe some of the effects of colonization and residential schools leave us thinking we are less than other people. We are great people. We have been great people. We have something to contribute. If you have that in your spirit, if you feel that you can contribute and that you have something that is different and special, let the world hear you. Bring that forward.
Look for the truth in what you have and let it be seen. If you have some desire more than ‘I want to make money’ that is inspiring you to do something, you must foster that. You owe it to your community, you owe it to yourself, you owe it to the world. You must understand that and work towards that. It absolutely can be done.”
