Lummi Nation member Mark Julius joins us in this episode of Young and Indigenous. As we go through his inspiring life story, we talk about growing up in poverty alongside his 14 siblings and what it was like living and surviving on their own while still being kids and ending up playing and swimming in the Nooksack River at the end of each day. Having spent some time in the foster care system, he had many different experiences with many different families and we hear about some of the trials being in that kind of setting. Later in his life, he meets his wife and we hear about their love story. Mark had many successful business ventures that included fishing, retail in fireworks, toys and gifts, and car re-selling. Throughout his life, Mark has kept a close relationship with God and we get into the various miracles he’s witnessed and how he utilized his faith to help his community.
