We remember when we used to walk free to gather medicines, hunt for food, have our ceremonies and raise our families.

We remember.

We remember when we were asked to share the places where we walked free as a nation, where our ancestors walked before.

We remember.

We remember when freedom was taken, and we were confined.

We remember.

We remember when our children were taken and we had to have permission to visit them.

We remember.

We remember when after we were confined we needed permission to pick berries, gather medicines, hunt for food and practice traditions.

We remember.

We remember these things, we know how it impacts us. We remember. Now it’s time you learn our history, our losses and acknowledge your gain. We remember, you should too.

We remember.
