Yes, that's a good point because I was reminded just recently, “Chief, talk about your strengths, the good things”. For how many generations have we been negative? I guess we still have the land. The water is still good. The culture is still very strong. I started drumming 20 years ago. When I heard my grandfather singing, I was four years old. I prayed enough, and I wished that one of his songs would come to me. I think the spirit in Canada and in the communities, is still there. The other thing is that my wife reminds me that we, as natives and as Dene, are very intelligent. The other thing that some mothers are reminding me is that we come from very powerful people two, three, four, five generations ago. Holy man. Those people who lived in our communities were a hard act to follow, but we could strive to be just like them They were very intelligent. It's kind of interesting because sometimes I wonder what the people did 500 years ago. They were okay 500 years ago. My people were okay, and your people were okay. They were having a very good time then. We come from very powerful people, and we need to remind each other of that, and that will take away all.... It's so easy to get down and negative.
Thank you.
