Inspiration and Teachings

    • My inspiration comes from all the matriarchs of my communities who all have played an integral role in forming my identity as a Dakelh person. This includes my grandmothers, aunties, older cousins, older sisters and my mother. They have showed me the importance of the land by taking me hunting in the mountains, gathering medicines, picking berries and tea, and sharing stories of our ancestors while also sharing rituals of connections and rituals of condolences. Spending time on the land fostered a deeper appreciation for Mother Earth by learning about stories, medicines, animals, plants, clans, and all systems relating to those things.
