Statues of Freedom, Democracy and Reconciliation

There should be a statue of freedom, democracy and Reconciliation where the old Cornallis statue used to be. If they want a statue they could depict Justin Trudeau with the Assembly of First Nation national Chief, the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples' national Chief, Native Council of Nova Scotia Chief and President, Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi'kmaq Chiefs and Grand Council's Grand Chief as equals. Celebrating their contributions and struggles as First Nations. I want this statue in Halifax to depict the Premier, Indigenous-Crown Minister and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as equals with these chiefs. I know that I would be very excited to see that with Halifax's Memorial Statue.

I see that they torn down some statues and in the statue-making business, they should make a statue of freedom, democracy and Reconciliation where they depict a lot.

I know that I want to see the old statues torn down everywhere in Canada. And have a new ones for freedom, democracy and Reconciliation displayed. First Nations, Mètis and Inuit peoples with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Or Indigenous-Crown Minister Carolyn Bennet with First Nation chiefs, presidents or CEO chair. I want this story to be well built in the Canadian cultures.

Our similar beliefs in Christmas and appreciation of a good holiday is what we could share. I know that we have National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Treaty Day, and National Aboriginal Day. But we have all the celebrations we need, we just need to work with the statues of freedom, democracy and Reconciliation. To give hope and to make stands against corruption and loss of momentum. These statues would be a good reminders to the political people to keep trucking on. We want to share our lands but not be forced from them.

I live at Mawita'mk Society in Cape Breton Island. I have pride in my Mi'kma'ki and I know that Unama'ki is my homeland. I feel rich that we have opportunities to build a good relationship with the government. And have everything we need granted to us from them, through economic opportunities and building a good political relationship. I have emotional intelligence through relationships and therapy, but I know that I have coping skills and social strategies, to deal with certain things. Feeling that I haven't been well loved or respected, I know that I want to build my relationships to a better status quo. Hoping that I could leave this world without unfinished business.

I know that I have to live in a good way because Mawita'mk Society serves me. Not their selves. I know that Mawita'mk Society serves me but they make it out to be a terrible thing to be on my side.

I know that I'm not perfect but so is this country. I know that I have tons of reasons to live at Mawita'mk Society. Support in my exercises, cooking and cleaning. A good bedroom with Playstation consoles, Xbox 360 console and a flat-screen TV. I have a radio with iPhone docking, I have a laptop and computer desktop. I have a computer tablet and smartphone. I live in comforts of a Mi'kmaq cultural group home and have everything I need taught to me. This charitable organization called Mawita'mk Society and the group home called Ni'kinen house, is a good place of rest, active lifestyle and a good teaching and supportive family of Members, Clients, Staff and Residents. I know that I have a good lot and I know that they will keep doing good until they can make progressive baby steps into a growing machine called Mawita'mk Society. A cultural charitable organization that had helped me our throughout the years I've been here.

I know that I get to learn much as I can from the healing practices of the traditional culture I'd learned from. And I know that Mawita'mk Society is the heart beat of this cultural community which stands on unceded Mi'kma'ki. I know that I have a rich cultural group home that has a income of $50 every week. Hopefully, I can get $70 every week. But I get GST direct deposits every three months and a Christmas bonus every year from my hometown Eskasoni. I know that my enemies only want me to be reminded of the bad things that have happened to me there.

I know that I have good memorable experiences in there. Like going on a Shopping Spree with The Wish Foundation or my parents' money. I know that I had the latest technology in my Eskasoni family home. We had the latest fashion, the latest technology, the latest TV shows and the latest music CD.

We had a big screen TV, a bulky thing in the living room where we can movie nights. We had a computer in Edna's bedroom. And I had the original Playstation console with a ton of games. I know that I wanted to get my driver's license at the age of 16. But I was too busy with appointments, working for my dad( stepfather) and having a grand old time playing videos and recording my favorite songs off of the Music channel. Much Loud.

I know that I had a pool table and pinball machine in our house. Everything that we had was the family's things. The social things that is. I wish that I had lended out my Playstation console to my family even more. I know that I could've invested in my own VHS video tapes. And recorded songs off of the channel. I know that I had money coming in by doing lawn maintenance with my stepfather. Of course I owed him yard work for some things. I love the fact that I had everything.

I had everything to have a level of happiness in the family. That I know that I had a good system of income with my stepfather. I know that I had a good home in Eskasoni. I just wished that I had my driver's license at the age of 16. And had my Uncle Chuck's trust in driving. I wanted to earn my way with that. 

And have a good understanding about driving, careers and credentials. I know that I'm happy where I'm at but I wish I had drove up this way on my own. That way I could've been driving to Port Hawkesbury and getting used of that Highway.

With my second transplant kidney I know that Rosie is gonna take me back roads and have me practice driving there with a old car. I know that I have my sisters and Rosie to practice driving with. I just gotta wait for a second transplant kidney. Hopefully, I can get it because I want to renew my Beginner's license.

With the new transplant kidney coming, I know that I could build a good career out of plumbing and cooking. Mawita'mk Work Center will be giving me an Inventory Clerk and Homecook positions for a good fundraising this Monday. I know that I will be training under Ann Marie Powers, learning specialty diets and other cooking techniques. 

I did some plumbing training, I just need the apprenticeship program. For now I'll do the cooking and have my skills updated for a single meal for a Bachelor life. I know that I could cook breakfast and lunch. I know that I could make a sandwich for lunch. Feeling that I'm going to get a refresher course in cooking. I hope that I could get used of hard work like this. I want to be able to layout my preparations of cooking.

I know that I could get my NSCC Cooking Certificate for one year and learn much as I can with cooking specialty diets.

I know that I want to be well educated in Cape Breton cooking. Feeling that I could put a spin on my cooking for specialty diets. I could make a reasonable meal program. Knowing that I have Mawita'mk Work Program cooking to consider. I could become a specialty diets chef. I know, because I live at a cultural group home I get to learn and practice much culture, tradition and learn about our heritage, accomplishments and customs. I know that I got a good life at Mawita'mk Society. I know that I've learned the shared histories of our people. Knowing that I have Ann Marie Powers, I could learn a lot from her.

I know that I just need to enjoy reading, playing video games and watching Netflix. Listening to music and soul music. I know that I have tons of entertainment in my bedroom. I know that I don't like small talk and I hate gossips, rumors and heresy.

I know that is how prejudice is form. Gossips and stereotypical assumptions of people. I know that I've learned a lot of how prejudice could be form. Ageism, ableism, racism, any forms of discrimination based on any criteria. 

I know that I've faced many myself. In the name of respect or fear they wanted the ideal coping sick kid to live his life without succeeding. I know that I've faced many discriminations based on my disabilities, medications and other things that would make me a risk to Mawita'mk Society. I cannot escape here and they don't want me thinking that way. These forms of discrimination are a social problem. 

They were jealous how intelligent I was and how sociable I am. I know that I am a lot like my biological mother, a social butterfly when I'm drunk. But I know that I've struggled with shyness because of intoxication. I knew that being inebriated was something of an embarrassment. Sometimes I would be embarrassed and actually did something stupid. But I know that I could've gotten over it. 

With this shared journey of building moments of Reconciliation, I have to write an therapeutic autobiography of my story with my real father's family story, my stepfather's family story and my aunties on my Jown side family narrative of my biological mother. I know that I got to start with two people and that is with my stepfather and biological mother. And then my real father comes in. 

It's a story of a lost child who never seen his parent's side of the story. Self-confident kind of new autobiography, I hope that I could prevent, educate and show that addictions is indiscriminate and could strike anywhere. As long as you're aware of your child's life, I know that we could forge a better community for a family. 

I want help with the memoirs of my life. And having written 23 years of poetry. I want to say that I've written in shame, anger and rage. My step uncle learned how to make me not acknowledge my own wounds from the past. I was a child addict learning cultural healing practices and ceremonies, to appreciate and love myself. I know that I want to live here because I could finally finish my book.
