@ScoterD As a proud member of the Haida Nation from the Raven Clan, I honor our deep connection to the land. Our elders are treasures, holding the wisdom that guides us, while our youth represent our future, carrying forward our legacy. Together, we celebrate our heritage and nurture the bonds that unite us as people of the land. #HaidaNation #RavenClan #CulturalHeritage
@akforever gunalchéesh In my learning, I appreciate the concept of "Haa Shuká" which includes the ones before us in time and the ones to come. Iʼm happy to follow you. My lineage is Settler, which means I have gratitude for those who helped my ancestors survive. Hereʼs is pearl I am pondering: "Regardless of what I learn about my own ancestors’ past, I can choose to live a life that allows me to be a good ancestor to others". by Kassandra Hishida, via #Densho
