I love hearing this perspective. I think cultural diversity is as important to humans as biodiversity is to the living things on the planet. Thank you for both keeping and sharing yours.

Thank you for the video I enjoyed it greatly! I live in MA & I am Mi'kmaw! Not sure if you are aware but on (Columbus day) The city of Cambridge MA celebrated Indigenous Peoples' Day! 💞

I wasn't reared around my Mi'kmaq culture. My great-grandmother was removed from that when she was 6. I often say that my parents and the Apsaalooke taught me well. But there are many differences from the Plains groups whom I have lived among my entire life and the Mi'kmaq. I appreciate these videos because I am learning so much about my own people.
