Meaning of K'aay.yas Gan Unsid (Elders' Knowledge):
"Where does our knowledge come from? To whom are we accountable for its survival? As we continue the work of reclaiming our culture, we honour the Ancestors' teachings. We honour the Elders who carry this knowledge forward for us. We honour the children who will one day take up this work.
From time immemorial we have accepted this responsibility. Our potential is illimitable when we listen to, and learn from one another."
