At first I thought… The most powerful thing that you can do for your
people, your future, your land, your air, your water is to fight and die
for what you believe in. But it’s not true… you have to LIVE for what
you believe in.
So begins the wise words of 13-year old Sliammon Native Youth, Ta’Kaiya Blaney in a recent video (below) by Indigenous Rising.
If you are like me then you will be moved to tears by hearing what she
has to say after that in the video, but you’ll have to watch it to find
out. I recently had the pleasure of talking with Ta’Kaiya about the
video while delving into the changing face of social engagement that is
bringing healing for our communities and the environment.
