As I have been at this program everyone here has had part in inspiring me especially the elders i have met. Many of the native people from the Wishtoyo village had an impacted me with how much they are involved with their culture. Seeing how involved they are made me want to learn more about my culture. Spending time with Auntie Julie and hearing her sing and teaching us native songs and how to make baskets inspired me as well to want to learn more of not just my culture but of everyones. As for the future generation I hope to leave the legacy of showing that it doesn’t matter what background or where you come from you can overcome anything if you put your mind to it.
