As a child I grew up hearing stories from my kokum, mother and elders in my community, I listened to their stories and practiced their Cree teachings that were passed down to me and carried them In my mind, heart and spirit my entire life. My goal now Is to tell their stories and share their teachings so I can Inspire others in my community to do the same, to keep our culture, our history and stories alive.
