Dear students of the "Treaty 4 the Next Generation" Project,
May you use your new found knowledge to help others to see the world differently. May you consider that which you read, see or hear before making a decision about it. I hope you will ask yourselves, "Whose voice am I not hearing?", "What other perspective is there?" and "What else do I need to know?" before you jump to a conclusion or accept something as truth.
I hope you learned that when we collaborate we are more intelligent, more creative, more considerate and more artistic because we combine many ways of knowing into one. Ignorance is the biggest barrier to change and acceptance. May you break down these barriers by educating others and by continuing to educate yourselves.
My wish is that you will consider our history and mistakes of the past, not to feel guilty, but to make better decisions for our future. I hope you will take these lessons you learned and use them for good; that you will educate your families, your friends, your classmates and, yes, even your teachers.
You have the knowledge and the creativity to be the change, to be the next generation and, in doing so, to create a better future for your children and your grandchildren.
Thank you for your leadership, your open minds and your open hearts. May they continue to grow and influence others. I hope you know more than you did before and, I hope you understand that, when you know better, you are obligated to do better. May you do better.
