When we start to understand the identity, we can bridge the gap between young people and old people. I believe that I have done my job by raising my children to understand their roles and responsibilities.
We come back from the city to our communities, and sometimes we have to relearn the things we didn't get. It's fun to sit down and relearn your language. You haven't used it for so long, because you worked in an economy that just didn't allow that. We went to institutions where we could study all kinds of things, but never learn about ourselves.
At the friendship centre program I go to when I have time, that is where they talk about so-and-so moving over there, or so-and-so bought a new e-bike and is getting around quite well. You can hear the community conversations. If we had time, and made a priority of all the things that have been mentioned around the table, we would get there. It's important.
