Unbroken: Indigenous Peoples Today

Shaayí - Tlingit, Haida, and Aishihik Native Talking About Her Daughter (Name Redacted).

"I am so happy to share the ways of the ancestors with my daughter. I hope that she will benefit from the wisdom handed down by the ancients and embraces the side of her heritage that connects her to the land, the water, the sky, and all the creatures of the realms. I hope that I can impart the compassion, strength, and selflessness that I have seen from my grandmother and other members of our tribe.

"I am concerned for the world she is coming into though. As I observe environmental destruction and nearly complete disrespect for the Earth by humans, I am concerned that there will not be much of a world for my daughter and that spiritual integrity and physical wellness will be very hard to cultivate. I hope that my daughter can face whatever challenges that arise as fiercely as her ancestors and that she embodies spiritual strength from developing a sharpened mind based on self awareness."
