 Hello, Laura Kamlin is my name. I'm from a community in what is known as Northern Ontario. It's called Kichenamekusup. Laura Kamlin, this is my name, Kichenamekusup is the name of the country I live in. I'm from the city of Kichena 61 open. I've been living in Chicago. I've been living here for 2 years, after that 2 years, 2 years and 6 years. I've living here for 2 years, now I'm living here for another 7 years. I'm living here for the next 7 years because I'm living here for another 7 years. So what I said was for me, from my perspective on what kind of knowledge is important to our children and for our young people, I was referring to the creation stories in the beginning of time when the human being was created and the gifts that was given to the human being at the time of creation. And even before that, the creation story about how the universe was created and how this world that we live in was created, once a child and a youth understand those teachings and the inherent laws that are given from the creation for us to follow and our inherent rights and responsibilities will guide those children and those youth on their path, on their journey as Nishnabe people. And once they understand those teachings, then they know who they are because from the beginning of time they have learned their history, their culture and then they're able to walk with it today in today's world and they'll be able to help them walk forward in success in the future. So creation stories are very key to the education of children and youth. I just want to say that for me, when we've known we've been successful in transferring this knowledge is when a child starts to show or demonstrate that he or she understands their indigenous name, their spirit name, and they understand what clan they're from so they know their kinship system and the kinship, how to carry that kinship among the other with other peers and also how once they understand their creation stories, it becomes holistic learning for them. And the child, once a child and youth understand, you could see in their learning that they're more quicker to learn in the same school and they feel safe, it's a safe space for them to learn once they know who they are. And when we say you got this one, you got this one in the language, it means that what lives within you and that walks with you every day, it's a part of you, it's a living part of you. And we begin to see children and youth display that, that this culture, this language, this worldview, these value systems that we teach them become part of them inherently then we know that we've been successful in transmitting that knowledge to them. From what I've shared, this is my vision. I'd like to see in our educational system that our culture and our worldviews, our value system, our kinship system, our legal system, even our inherent legal system, that we bring, we teach that as the first education. And then we have, their secondary education would be the education that they have from the Western world because it has to be balanced. They have to have balanced education. So we teach them about who they are in a safe setting within their culture. It could be land-based. And in that land-based state, they learn all the, all that they need to know about who they are. And the education is delivered by language speakers, traditional knowledge keepers. And then also at the same time, you have, you have teachers that are indigenous as well, that are in academia, and they teach them Western education, like the math sciences, English and all that. So it's a combination so that they can achieve a greater, a greater learning. Because for us, it's, we need to know, and we need to know how that safe space that we can achieve, we can achieve higher level of education in academia without never having to give up who we are or to change who we are as people. And the same thing with the other people. We can also extend this education to non-indigenous people, where they never have to give up who they are. But they would be learning about indigenous people because sometime in the future, they may be interacting with indigenous people, working with indigenous people. It would be like culturally safe for them as well. So it's a matter of gaining that expertise on their behalf. But for our peoples, it's regaining who we are as indigenous people, that we live and walk that education every day. Miigwech.
