It would probably be my stepdad. As I said, he was a traditional man. He taught me a lot and helped me feel proud of who I was and where I was from.
There was also a local family in my community. They weren't aboriginal, but I was good friends with their son. They took me in and helped give me stability. They were an eye-opener for me. I don't want to say their home was without dysfunction, but it was a relatively normal home where you had a strong family, where the man worked, the woman worked, and the family focused on education and those values. It was being exposed to that.
