"Taking care of others in a way that is respectful and with dignity is important today, just as it has been in my family and in other families. Supporting ones self-sufficiency is important, while also recognizing that the ongoing legacies of oppression and inequality are very real for Indigenous peoples and others. We need to look at ways of healing and restoring balance. Perhaps having a little extra money to do good work yourself, in your own community is one way to support that."
