My life in layers, my journey is a continuous weaving of teachings from my grandparents, parents, culture, our history, people I’ve met and experiences… for better or worse, it is me weaving the past with my present into the future. Because of that, no matter where I am, how much I miss the rez, the land… I will always be home.
This is the way.
