A long time ago, before the residential schools issue came up, an Elder told me to go back to my community because there is a sleeping giant and I had to go and wake it up, gently. I thought he meant the Elders, but when the residential schools issue came up, I knew what he was talking about. He said that when the truth came out, it would reverberate throughout the world.
