Tradition 

by | Dec 5, 2022 | Art and Activism, Youth Voice

In honor of Indigenous Heritage Month

Trusting one another,

Respecting what is being shared,

A teaching moment,

Direct from ancestors that were forced

Into institutions,

That created friction and diminished our cultures.

Initiating our heritage and being

Open to practicing will create a

Nation of change.
