It's so important to set boundaries and I had to learn how to do this and it took me a long time. I have lots of respect for the Indigenous and i studied Indigenous studies in university and it was very eye opening.
All the lies that have been told are unacceptable and it's sad that many people are unaware of the truth about your culture and way of life. I work with the homeless population and I get to meet so many wonderful and amazing Indigenous people, they are so kind-hearted and good people. I see all the trauma they have experienced and it is heartbreaking. I too have experienced trauma and it really rips your soul out and it's very difficult to recover.
I admire the Indigenous Nations and I love learning about your culture, values, traditions and I love to go to Pow WOW and I went to a SunDance Ceremony and it was such an honor. I can see you're a very strong Indigenous woman and they say it is your generation that will take the lead and you will rise up out of the oppression that you have been subjected to. I hope no-one here is rude and treating you with disrespect. If so, it is because they don't know any better and we can pray for them.
I have met many strong Indigenous people and I can see some great changes taking place. I see you live on the Coast Salish First Nation's Territory and I also live in that area. I'm participating in the support to stop the pipeline and I see that many people are joining that movement.
Keep up the great work and getting your message out
