Quote:
"My individual truth comes from (re)discovering my culture and embracing identity. For several generations, my Indigenous ancestry, as so many of ours, was clouded in mystery due to concerns of safety under the colonial state. As I have arrived in a place of intergenerational healing, it is with humility, great pride and openness. This healing journey has changed everything in my and our family's life. We are Anishinaabe of the Algonquin Nation, part of the Thunderbird Clan. I could not be more humbled and honored."
-- April Mullen
