This visit was the best visit so far! Although it was tiring getting to the community it was worth it! My first presentation was when I arrived in their territory, they brought me out to their land and introduced me to their nation as they were having a Nisga'a nation picnic so most of their people were there. I was able to say a few words and sing a couple of songs. I found it amazing that I was not the only role model they had, every year they select one of their own as a role mode, they usually select an Elder from the community.
After the speeches and the amazing feast they had traditional songs and dances which they invited me to be a part of.
I was humbled to be welcomed into such an amazing community and I hope to return again in the future!
