Three things that prepare me to be successful are talking circles, songs, and language. Talking circles are important because when you talk together you can understand and get your feelings out. You feel like your not alone when you talk with your peers. Communicating is important it feels better when you get it all out. Songs can help us all be successful because there are healing. They can give you strength when you are weak. And language can help you be successful because you are representing your native tongue and in a way it can be empowering to your people and for you.
Participating in cultural ceremonies can help you be more successful and further your education because when you are putting all your attention and focus on your culture it can help you lift wight off your shoulders.
In the future this cultural experience can help you because one day if you go to a place where people want to know about your culture you will know what to do.
