"My positive living experiences is learning my culture from elders as well as living off the land and learning to survive, even trying to learning my mother tongue Nehiyaw, it has been quite a journey having to keep a positive mindset despite living in a reservation where there’s not really much to do unless its planned culturally or scheduled in the future for people to come together. I’d like to see more housing for people in their own homes, even living off the grid, and having sustainable housing and power such as solar, wind, and hydro etc. I can see the positive impact it would have on the community in my home of Big River First Nation."
