I just want to ensure that when you're having people leave their communities because of violence, you need to understand that when they come to an urban setting, they're losing culture, and culture is important.
I work with young families who are living in an urban setting, and they're off reserve, and they're looking for culture for their children. So we do have an organization here, but we only have one, and it's aboriginal head start. We provide culture to those children aged two to five. Then we also provide a community setting for the parents, where we teach the parents culture as well, where we're teaching the language, we're teaching basketry, we're teaching our beadwork. We're teaching them how to cook traditional food, because they have been removed from that. So you need to understand, we need to bring their culture back too.
We're losing our culture, and no one seems to be fighting to bring that culture back. It is imperative. You want to end violence, educate the population about who we are, and bring us our culture back, and we won't have to discuss violence, because there's an understanding of who aboriginal people are, and what we bring to the society of this country.
