They spoke about the Stolen Generations and how so much history and culture has been lost. Growing up in foster care, I didn\u2019t have much guidance on my Indigenous heritage. \nFor me, it wasn\u2019t until I was 12 that I even learned I was Aboriginal. I didn\u2019t fully accept it until I experienced racism. That was a wake-up call. Programs like Home Stretch offering lineage research made such a difference\u2014something the department never funded. \nMy younger brother, who also did his own lineage research, found a deep sense of identity. It was transformative for him, and it resonated with me too. Programs that connect young people to their culture, even in small ways, are so valuable. \n\n<br> Learning about Aboriginal culture is a lifelong journey. Even as an Indigenous man, I feel there\u2019s so much more for me to learn. For non-Indigenous people, it\u2019s about being curious and respectful.  You\u2019ll make mistakes, but it\u2019s okay\u2014treat them as learning opportunities. Be open-minded and willing to listen. \t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<footer>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-blockquote__author\">- <font face=\"Aptos, sans-serif\">Young Person<\/font>,
