Hey everyone! So the meeting for the band council has been postponed to Friday! I am asking my community members to come out and support me by nominating me to become one of the councillors. As many of you know, I take passion and dedication for all I do for my people. I’ve been working extremely hard since I first came back home to my community which was about 7 months ago. I’m sure you all know all the activities, events, work that I’ve done since. I want to become councillor because I care for my people and that’s what the band needs. I am also youth and everyone is always talking about how important to include the youth with everything we do. I want to learn about what’s going on so that one day I can become chief at home when I am ready, which is not anytime soon. I know there are some who don’t agree with me getting into this kind of work and I should stay in the frontline work. Well, first off... my contract is almost over. I am not guaranteed a job after my contract is done and the second would be.. I can still do all the work I’ve done before still being councillor. I’m still planning to do all the things I planned for the summer already. Finding funding isn’t that hard. If I want to get a job done, then I’ll get it done by using law of attraction. Another reason would be catching up on my school seeing how I’m still taking courses online. I know I planned to move to the city this Fall but I don’t feel ready. I remember when I was finishing up college in Timmins, I was a complete mess with myself and coming home helped me find myself. I can honestly tell you that I’m not ready to leave home to live anywhere else right now. I feel guidance when I’m home and know where I’m going in life. These bushes out here help me find everything I need to know about myself. I will eventually leave for University when I am ready to leave, for now I will be taking online courses so I will still be getting my education. Since I was younger, I had these visions of me standing in the mountains/bush with an older image of myself. At first, I used to wonder why I had these visions. Later in my years I realized it was me standing their fighting for my people. I had a vision that our community was a better place and that our people was on their healing journeys. I seen the children going back to their old ways and playing/learning outside, helping our elders with wood, and mothers/women surrounded by their young children cooking and cleaning outside.. preparing for their day. I also saw men with their guns, getting ready to go out hunting. It was all so blurry and at times these visions come back to me. I know there are reasons for me coming back home and I follow my signs. I prayed for guidance and that’s what I received. If I am wrong and I don’t get chosen to be a councillor then it wasn’t for me right now and if I do get chosen then it is for me. All I can do is try. I do know that I get things done and I don’t waste any time. I really hope that all those people that always say I’m doing so great for all the work I do( especially with the youth), come out on Friday evening to support me. You know I would do the same as well. Mii-gwetch.
