We have a long history of trauma

that we're carrying with us.

And I truly believe that we are carrying

all of that with us in our belief systems,

how we grew up, and what we were taught.

And it's still coming out.

Things are still coming out about those.

And it just makes you really
think as an indigenous person

of what will happen to us as a people.

And I think it's important
for indigenous people,

especially Veterans, male and female,

out there to just talk.

Talk about what you're
feeling and thinking,

and going to the VA was
helpful after all of that.

It became a very helpful thing for me.

And it's very important.
