Cover image explanation: Some may view First Nations as toppled or broken like the tree on the front cover. This is not true. Our strong roots are firmly attached. We will recover from colonization. We are the tree, standing tall. Our beauty, strength, perseverance and resilience shines through with the assistance of our Ancestors, Traditional Teachings, ceremonies, love of our Mother Earth, and healing through the passion and pride of who we are. Seema leads the way.
