STAND TALL<\/p>\n

BE STRONG<\/p>\n

BE RESILENT<\/p>\n

I KNOW WHO I AM<\/p>\n

I FEEL THE BLOOD OF THE ANCESTORS WITHIN<\/p>\n

I AM TRAVELING MY JOURNEY<\/p>\n

I AM PROUD<\/p>\n

I AM LEARNING<\/p>\n

I AM CREE<\/p>\n

I AM METIS<\/p>\n

I AM ENOUGH<\/p>\n

I AM INDIGENOUS!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
