And over the years as you get older these influences turn in “ gang members “ or think their one. And playing around around with fake guns like co2s or mace cans, knifes fighting people getting in trouble with the police spending the night in jail and just repeating the same old cycle until someone close finally dies. Or ends life in jails or they don’t change at all and the anger inside of them makes them do worse then they have already done because they already think people don’t care about depending on the way the grown up either in a some what stable home or a broken home where there’s nothing but toxic energy and people in it. the why this world is, either your lucky your not. ]]> 2021-09-28 17:01:13 UTC https://padlet.com/destinybrown45/jz6jw40wbn1f1d2w/wish/1775368363 destinybrown45 https://padlet.com/destinybrown45/jz6jw40wbn1f1d2w/wish/1790449566 Well on my moms side they do a lot of ceremonies like salmon ceremonies or celebrations of life if a loved one has passed away. We also have big dinner in the halls either in Hazleton, Kitwanga, or even Kispiox. 

And for my dads side we have different types of celebrations like for caribana. 
That either happens in Toronto but sometimes in North Vancouver it’s a big festival with different types of Caribbean's either from Jamaica, Trinidad, etc…. 
But basically it’s a festival with music, food, dancing, singing, and rapping from different artists. ]]> 2021-10-04 17:42:51 UTC https://padlet.com/destinybrown45/jz6jw40wbn1f1d2w/wish/1790449566 destinybrown45 https://padlet.com/destinybrown45/jz6jw40wbn1f1d2w/wish/1790469097 Yes my cultural practices are important to me because it reminds me where both of my people came from and the beautiful things we love to do like the different types of foods we make and cultural clothing we wear along with the hand made jewelry. ]]> 2021-10-04 17:50:45 UTC https://padlet.com/destinybrown45/jz6jw40wbn1f1d2w/wish/1790469097 destinybrown45 https://padlet.com/destinybrown45/jz6jw40wbn1f1d2w/wish/1790494573 From my moms side they speak Gitxsan
