her undivided attention if you need to talk. She has a very active lifestyle. When she is
not working to make her community stronger and better, she is practicing her culture on
the land. She is my role model because she can do everything from shooting a moose and
skinning it to bringing that value and important tradition to big executives who are trying
to mine the land. She fights for her people on a daily basis in a boardroom by stressing
the importance of our tradition and the land we use to keep our culture alive, by keeping
that lifestyle going and teaching the future generations of leaders. I admire her the most

This is a world full of people being proactive and fighting to keep their values alive,
values such as our history and our cultures. Aboriginal women leaders are crucial in this
fight because they hold the knowledge and compassion to build the dream of a diverse
yet equal world for tomorrow.
