What Aboriginal Youth want
I’ve written before about the Aboriginal youth I’m lucky to be working with. One of them, Ginger Gosnell, is involved with the Assembly of First Nations and she shares some thoughts on the recent annual general assembly:
That is one of the differences between the current generation and the future generation of leaders. Young people don’t have the mind set that certain personalities will make in the end all the difference to an initiative’s successs…..As Nelson Mandela says, ‘it is what you make out of what you have, not what you are given that seperates one person from the next’….Overall, some things are worth fighting for, others are not. If it further divides the people, than maybe it’s not worth it….and if what you say isn’t registering with other people, than maybe you need to think about what you’re saying and then come back with a better solution or way of communicating.
