MOTIVATION
As members of Teetl'it Gwich'in First Nations, raised in Teetl’it Zheh [Fort McPherson, N.W.T.], we are caretakers and have important responsibilities to our ancestors and future generations. It’s thousands of years of strength, love, resilience and power of the Indigenous peoples who have been living here, having relationships and connection with the land, creator, water, animals, birds, medicines, stars, sun and moon.
INFLUENCES
I will always be so thankful to Chief Johnny W. Kay — when I was 11, he was a guide and teacher — for all his teachings, bravery and kindness. He always told me I could do anything I put my mind and heart into. Haii choo to the leaders like him, past and present, who continue to do this work and to their families who support them.
