Episode 5 of 10 it just one of series taken from an interview regarding stolen INDIGENOUS SISTERS

This original podcast was and will be presented by the G4 organization of the Treaty Seven coalition members of the Nakota Nations and Tsuutina Nation. I am presenting this uncut from my own recording of being interviewed. There is always a creation story of the beginnings of things. This thing that I've talked about over these twenty years is called human trafficking. Its been around since of the beginning of time; however, being indigenous I didn't realize the uniqueness of my experiences as it applies to guiding other indigenous in to a healing for themselves. My mission is to give a message that there is hope for eliminating a self defeating behavior. It is a philosophy taught to me by my mother and all the matriarchs who came before to never give up. The hope is that we defend our gender identity from those who desire to control and steal our energy from our very existence. i wanted to take a moment and express my gratitude for your participation in the recent episode of Stolen Voices. Your willingness to share your journey, wisdom, and truth was deeply appreciated and truly resonated throughout our discussion. From the very beginning, your openness about your experiences and the way they shaped your perspective as an elder and knowledge keeper offered invaluable insight for our listeners.You guided us through the complex realities facing Indigenous communities, particularly around identity, kinship, and the challenges brought by colonial systems. Your stories about the importance of collective family, ceremonies, and the impact of intergenerational trauma were compelling and helped illuminate why community and connection are so vital for healing. The way you described the intricacies of kinship—how each person is woven into a larger tapestry—was powerful and gave everyone a deeper understanding of what it means to belong.Your honesty regarding the effects of human trafficking, exploitation, and the vulnerability of Indigenous women, girls, and two spirit people, especially in connection with residential schools, was both sobering and important. The discussion around limerance, healthy boundaries, and how trauma can disconnect people from themselves was enlightening. You highlighted how healing must be collective, rooted in compassion, and supported by allies, and your words underscored the need for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities to work together to prevent harm and foster recovery.Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the value of compassion over forgiveness, and how Indigenous teachings and values should guide us in protecting our youth. Your analogy about invisible helping hands and the abundance of compassionate people in the world left a lasting impression. The message of hope—never giving up, always moving forward with compassion—was a beautiful way to conclude our discussion.Your voice and spirit brought so much to Stolen Voices, and we are grateful for your presence and guidance. If any questions come in from the audience, we will make sure to connect them with you. Thank you again for being part of this episode and for sharing your knowledge so generously.With deep respect and appreciation,
