When the elders share with us, they always have a vision that there would be a place for aboriginal people and first nations people to be able to learn about their own language, culture, history, world view, and philosophy. When you talk about the racism that is experienced...we needed to have a place where we would be able to learn about ourselves and our own history, because really it wasn't being taught out there.
