Unknown: Mama Bear clan actually came out of a woman's warrior
circle group that we have out of North Point Douglas Women's
Center where we are right now. And what it was was a bunch of
women got together and we're talking and we want to see what
kind of important issues we want to deal with in the community.
And one of the top things was safety in the area. So what we
did was, we kind of brainstormed and we thought of the bear clan
and what they're doing the north end in that someone came over
from the bear clan, and they kind of came and talked to us,
shared their knowledge with us and actually supported us in
becoming mama bear clan, lead the way we feel we need to make
bring our role back into being leaders and showing and being
role models for others. And we want to give us empowerment, to
to go out there and do what we feel is good. And we feel good
being out there sharing our love and our kindness, you know, and
actually some of the women that come are actually relatives of
some of the missing and murdered women that are out there. And
now I don't know we just it's something we want to be more
involved with to like with the truth reconciliation or
residential school like it's just all connected it just seems
but it's like I said it's up to us women to take our stance
again and be the become the leaders that would work with our
ancestors, women were leaders back then, you know
