I have children of my own and they know better bc I've put the fear n2 them by showing them what the consequences are. I've shown them videos and movies like documentaries about the people that do these things and shows like" intervention" . I'd love to see all Natives rise and prosper instead of being on the wrong path.I tell my kids"They r not your friend if they try to influence u n2 doing things that could destroy your life,your body,spirit and/future!"

Light diminishes dark so stay positive live and learn from all experiences so u may grow and prosper on your journey thru life

Touching and nicely done. May we all find the strength to choose life and hope each moment at a time. And to my Native brothers and sisters, the spirits of your ancestors are with us and you are cherished.
