'I have never read such a powerful collection of articles.'

The next generation of First Nations storytellers share the stories that matter most to them and their community. Cover art by Levi Nelson.

While flipping through your newspaper I happened to read the “In their own words” piece this evening (see Pique, June 22). We are here for a mountain bike event, and I shared it with my athlete. I have never read such a powerful collection of articles.

Katie gave us understanding through examples of the strength of the Lil’wat Nation. Kevin, with his comment that “the government may get suspicious if we do form one” was incredibly insightful. Kory’s hope for more sports and Charlie’s description of what a “rez” is demonstrated that there is so much work yet to do in Canada’s Indigenous communities.

Congratulations to all of the writers.
