If you could be any animal, which would you be and why? Obviously the eagle, c'mon! Eagles are one of the most beautiful birds in the world. What inspires you in Native American culture? My answer will always be how strong our people are. History has taught me that our ancestors have overcome many difficult obstacles. Just a few generations down, I've heard many stories about kids being taken away from their parents and put into residential schools. The horrifying events that took place are nothing to forget. The children at the time who survived, those are the people who I can call ...
