Joy, my wife, is of Cherokee descent, so I think she speaks to that. We have always, in our home, had native culture. She was raised with it as a child, and we think it's very important.
I'm Irish Canadian of Irish-Scottish Canadian descent. And we celebrate that in our family, as do our adopted children. They are not only aboriginal. Their mother is Honduran. We celebrate in our family the Mayan culture, the Latino culture, because our children are half-Honduran. It's very important.
You can't deny your culture. It gives you your roots. I also believe that this is the strength of our nation. We are a multicultural society, and we don't need to have differences. We need to embrace those different cultures, and that is the unity and the fibre of our nation.
