Cultural talk - no harm intended

[tweeter]

"I was not wanting to be part of the ceremonies and other things that have gone on for the first nation people. It was just a reminder to me of the denial and inner hell I have faced. The RC church where I grew up settled with people. Apologies were made. I was not included. When I tried to face my family that opportunity was denied. I am not angry with first nation members. It has just stirred up my own hurt and loss. And other things I won't share here."

Thank you for your patience. You were clear, but I didn't get it, aside from understanding that you didn't need to join in those ceremonies. Because I don't feel as you do, and it was a stretch for me, but worth the effort.
