Yes, thank you.
Yes, that's very true. It's all about respect. We were the teachers of our children in everything. Our men taught our boys and our women taught the girls. We were teachers of everything—sewing, way of life, how to raise a family and how to hunt—everything.
When families off the land were placed into settlements, that all started with the taking away of our children. Everything was to be taught in the schools or by the missionaries. All that was taken away from the elders. Today, our kids are getting educated and they're losing their respect for everything, for our culture, for the land and for the animals.
We have to get that back. That's why it's really important that we get our elders into the schools, because they're not getting the teachings at home anymore. We have to put our culture and language into the schools so that we gain that respect back. It's all about respect for our people, for our land and for our animals.
