I think there's a sense of responsibility and accountability. When you've wronged someone, it's a way of making amends, making something as right as possible, and playing a part in that. That's what I described. We men who have done the healing work have been asked by women in the community to come and help them—help protect them, help them deal with their abuser—and we do that. Then we really, really encourage that man to come and be with us, learn from us, work with us and embark on their healing journey.
The model with the Mama Bear Clan is led by the women and supported by the men. That is an indigenous governance model. That's what we employ.
