 Native people, like all Canadians, have been, in this
generation, caught up in a whirl of social, economic, ecological and political
changes over which we have only marginal influence.
We
have lost critical elements of our former status as nation states and as a

of this recession, unemployment is 10%+, we all know someone (or many) who’ve lost their jobs, and no one really knows what’s around the corner from here. There is much to be afraid of if we allow ourselves reasons to focus on the list. My humble advice – don’t. Worry never serves us and fear often limits us.
