“It is our nature to be whole and to be together. We are born into a circle of family, community, living creatures and the land. If we encounter racism, homophobia, sexism or other behaviors that oppress us, the balance may be disturbed and we may lose our place in the circle—but even if we lose our place we can still find guidance in our traditions, histories, memories, and collective experience of this world.”
Dr. Alexandria Wilson
Two-Spirit professor from Opaskwayak Cree Nation
