08:10  Generational Trauma and the Seven Stages of Life - loss of identity  

10:15  Wholistic practitioners   

11:30  Travelling with knowledge keepers and our knowledge bundle  

13:00  There's no room for ego - It's "us", "we" all connected  

13:30  The denial, anger and blame - no wonder my mom didn't want to talk about it.   

15:08  So much heaviness to carry. She did the best that she knew how.

26:11  The Residential Schools, Sixties Scoop and the continuing Mellennial scoop has impacted all Indigenous people of Turtle Island.

34:40  Stay in that hope and solution. It's OK to have feelings as we continue to reclaim who we are.  

35:30  Help us create those sacred spaces. What is your own truth?  

37:00  Going side by side as Indigenous and Non-Indigenous  

38:00  Mom's legacy continues. We reclaimed the mother/daughter relationship. 

39:20  What can we do as individuals?
