Nzhishenh jason uncle Jason Nakogee What are your teachings surrounding being an uncle? Well it’s a responsibility to teach my nephews and my nieces.

Excerpt from the interview with Jason Nakogee by Elizabeth Eshkibok, Cultural Practitioner at the Shkagamik-Kwe Health Centre. Nzhishenh dave uncle dave trudeau What are your teachings surrounding being an uncle? Being an uncle is like being a parent. I am there to remind my nieces and nephews of their family and of whom they are. Most importantly that no matter how much they think their parents don’t listen to them. The truth is the opposite. No matter what their children do most parents have an innate love for their children. Either by over protection or fear of the unknown. Just that they forget to be children with their children by relearning how to play and have fun. That would be part of today’s problem with parents and children connecting with each other. That awesome gift of open communication with each other. Excerpt from the interview with Dave Trudeau by Elizabeth Eshkibok, Cultural Practitioner at the Shkagamik-Kwe Health Centre.
