I wish people knew how tough it is for Indigenous people living in poverty in Winnipeg.
The amount of barriers and tragedies that our people live through is the reason why so many people are wrapped in trauma after trauma.
The amount of deaths that I hear about every month. The amount of people that I know of that have died from unnatural causes. It's a lot. I grew up poor af in the north end. For the people that I know and grew up with, all of this tragedy is just a natural part of life.
I just wish our people didn't have to struggle as much as they do. We deserve better.
