Baby Shannen was puzzled over being surrounded by the big kids touching her in a different place with her mom and grandparents ❤

The whole school curriculum needs to be taught in Cree or Ojibwe, nothing in English or French for the first 10-15 years.

These kids need to work. Give them anything to do, just to be productive. Involve them in sports too. Kids cannot be bored, give them things to do, physical work, chores and more chores....
