I have hope. I really believe in our people, aboriginal people, and I see them moving forward. I don't see us and don't want us to be these people living within programs, and program to program, sitting here at the table and asking for money all the time. That's not who we are. That shouldn't be. We weren't put here by the one who gives life to be asking for money from somebody else.
We have hope. I see, with a lot of the work we've done at the grassroots level, at different levels, that there's some movement, but the issues, of course, are always there. I always try to remember that the stronger we get the stronger the opposition gets too.
So I keep that in mind, but I'm really hopeful, because I know that I'm going strong in this, in my indigeneity, in my feminist indigeneity, in this movement, and that's still alive. So, yes, I have hope. I'm very hopeful.
