My name is Spirit Bear. I was born on May 10, 2007, in the huckleberry patches in Carrier Sekani territory near Prince George, British Columbia. My mom, Mary the Bear, worked with the people at Carrier Sekani Family Services to help children and families be healthy and proud. Mom taught me that when I see someone being treated badly, I need to find out what’s happening and do what I can to help make things better.

So when my mom told me about the Tribunal, I took a very LONG trip from Carrier Sekani territory to Ottawa, Ontario, to go and watch, and to stand up for First Nations kids.

And I wasn’t the only one! Lots of children came too—to listen, and to show they cared.

I believe that children can change the world because I saw it happen at the Tribunal. This is the story of how these kids—kids just like you—madea difference. And how bears like me, and other animals too, helped along the way!
